My name is Chowder!

Chowder is a deaf pitbull mix. She is SWEET, and well trained using sign language. Her favorite sign is a thumbs up, which says she's being a good girl. She loves working for treats and learns quickly.

Chowder is healthy, two years old, 40#, spayed, and up to date on all of her shots, and heart-worm prevention. Genetic and breed testing showed no markers for genetic diseases or allergies, and she is mostly pit. I'll provide paperwork.

She has graduated from beginner and intermediate dog school, and knows some basic ASL. I’ve worked closely with a trainer at dog school, and in the home, who has offered to provide training to whoever adopts Chowder, to ensure she and her new person/family learn each other well and achieve a sustained adoption.

Chowder's guarding behaviors can lead to her attacking other dogs. She loves to play, and with muzzle training (to ensure safety), she would love to meet dog friends, but needs to be the only dog in her furrever home.
