My story

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

'Look, it's just my resting dog face. I know it says 'I'm bored' but that's just because you haven't come to meet me!' ~Chili, probably

Chili's serious face is hiding a silly, playful dog who has so much potential to love and be loved. She starts her meetings pretty overwhelmed and by the end is happily taking snacks from new people. She's gonna play the long game and hope you don't mind a date or two (or three) before she shows you her true personality!

When she first arrived at APA!, Chili decided she didn't know any tricks and wasn't going to learn them neither. Luckily her volunteer friends are more stubborn than Chili and she soon learned sit, place, coming when called and sometimes down. When she's tired. And wants to take a break. Her stubborn nature just makes you want to love her more!

On sleepovers from the shelter, her true personality will shine! She does the funniest zooms were her butt gets ahead of her front. She loves to pounce on her toys and take long walks in the neighborhood. She loves to burrow in on cold mornings and keep herself warm and your feet warmer!

Did you know Chili comes with free pre- and post adoption training? Come learn more about her alongside the people who know here best!
