My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

CHEWBACCA AKA BEAR

This little Schitz tsu boy came in as an Owner Surrender. He has the cutest little face and seems scared and defensive at the shelter.

Previous owner states he does not do well with men or children, but does well with women. However, he has done well with 1 of our male staff. It seems more he doesn't like to be towered over and becomes frightened, rather then if male or female.

He has improved tremendously since arrival, as he gets use to staff faces he becomes less frightened
