Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chico is a handsome boy who was very loved by his former people. Here’s what they had to say about him:
“Chico is a good dog who needs someone who can take the time to care for and train him. He’s very loving and affectionate to his owners and is protective of his home. We were told his previous owner passed away and he was lost in the desert for three months until we took him in. He`s a good boy who knows most basic commands- sit, drop it, lay down, shake, and is kennel trained/housebroken. He loves to play and needs strong chew toys. He loves balls and loves to play fetch and tug of war. He loves walks though he needs some help with leash etiquette.”
Sadly, it’s been more than a year since Chico’s former family said those things, and Chico is still in the shelter system. He is beloved by staff and volunteers and truly deserves to find a home. Here’s what his friends at the shelter have said:
“I have walked Chico many times now and find him to be an exceptional dog. He is easy to leash and walks well. The last time I walked him he pushed up against my legs to get affection. I am really becoming fond of this overlooked guy.”
“I chose a quiet time this morning to meet Chico, as I was a stranger to him. He was eager to go for a walk but was polite and walked with a loose leash most of the time we were in the park. When I called his name, Chico looked up at me with soft eyes and sat for a treat, which he took gently.”
“Chico is so darn cute. He greeted me happily and he sat on command. He’s is so delighted to be out on a walk and explore everything around him. Super nice dog who is settles down quickly for a walk after he gets his initial wiggles out.”
“Chico greeted me well at the kennel and took treats gently. I was able to leash him up very easily and take him out.. He walked well to the yard and would check in with me. Once in the yard he was very excited and loved to smell everything. He got the zoomies and ran around with me for a bit. He was a very sweet boy and loved his time outside.”
“I walked Chico for the first time today and he was great! He was extremely calm and easy to leash up. He was very easy to walk and loved to sit for treats and some pets. Chico is a very friendly dog!”
“I took Chico today on a nice long walk through the park. He is easy to leash; he does pull a little at first but he settles in nicely after a few minutes. He knows sit and is very treat motivated. He is so fri
