Information:
Chi is a gentle soul, a loving boy who will add much to a Forever Home. Chi came from Death Row at a McMinnville TN shelter with eye, ear and skin issues; this precious boy is now healthy and very happy and his cute tail-wag proves that. Chi is HW negative (yeah!), Chi is vision and hearing impaired yet he gets about quite well as Chi maps out his territory quickly. Chi is fully potty trained and very well-mannered and an extremely positive, joyful little doggie. Chi has the sweetest expression and will look for you if you leave the room. He love his person.
Chi's a smart boy and quickly learns the rhythm of life: feeding times, walks, sleep, loving time! Chi will bark when you've got food out, and at dinner time will prompt you to move just a bit quicker in getting him his snacks. :-) That is the only time you will hear Chi.
Chi gets along very well with other doggies, cats and with all humans.Chi loves sleeping with you and sleeps much of the time though is a playful boy in spurts. Chi is as low-maintenance as a doggie can be, loves to snuggle on the couch with you and will add much positive joy and love to his Forever Home.
