My story

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

Meet Chucho, a 2-year-old pocket pittie (plus mystery breed?) with an extra-curly tail, a mastery of lounging on the sofa, and a shameless quest for snacks and snuggles. He's eager to please and once he feels safe and familiar with someone he'll be your dedicated sidekick. He loves rewards (of the food or praise variety), making it a breeze to teach him commands and your expectations. He likes to be mentally engaged as much as he likes to be physically engaged, but also enjoys hanging out in the sun, in front of the tv, or looking out a window. He thrives with a slightly older, well-balanced dog sibling in his house, respects cats, and excels at the role of little brother. He plays well with dog friends of all sizes and ages at daycare.

Chucho is a quick learner but he's also a determined student. This helps him build strong bonds with the people in his life. He gets a little nervous in loud environments or unfamiliar settings but finds comfort in his human and animal friends. He has some leash/barrier reactivity, but his foster family has noticed huge improvements in his self-control and emotional regulation through patient guidance and consistency. He's a very empathetic dog with a huge heart and he picks up on the vibes of the people and animals in his home. Positive reinforcement and structure are the name of the game for Chucho!

His perfect forever home would be one with at least one active human who likes to spend quality time working/playing with Chucho, and ideally another dog sibling for company and partner-in-crime-time. Socializing is important for Chucho, so a forever home that's willing to put him in daycare once or twice a week or have regular playtime with trusted, familiar dogs will make him a super happy boy. He's also VERY good-looking, so his future family must be comfortable getting constant compliments about how handsome he is and be prepared to spend hours adoring his adorable, jowly face.

More about this rescue

WE SAYv ANIMALS.
SAYv Animal Organization is a startup animal welfare organization focused on gettings things done.
We have 2 permanent programs running right now, with the objective to increase our manpower and reach to create new programs including farm animals.
Solutions: We help other nonprofit organizations create and execute life-saving solutions and provide support for critical operational initiatives.
Rescue: We have officially started our rescue efforts!!

Unfortunately, since we are a start-up organization with limited funds we have to focus on perceived "easier" cases whenever we can, JUST UNTIL we get a solid financial base and network. We fully intend to help open-admission shelters save ALL at-risk animals, including the hard cases.
