My story

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

Chuy was an owner surrender in Dallas Texas who quickly found himself on the list for next to be euthanized- purely for space.
Chuy is currently still in Texas but is in process of transit to Ohio

Shelter notes on Chuy:
Meet Chuy, a sweet and sensitive pup looking for a new home. Often cowering in his kennel, Chuy may seem nervous at first, but with patience and tasty treats, he quickly warms up to show his affectionate side. Chuy's s on a journey to find a loving home where he can continue to blossom and build his confidence. Due to space Chuy is needing placement as soon as possible.

Timid and not very social, got a bit defensive upon interactions with others (mostly high energy dogs)Sometimes would approach others for sniffs but mostly sat in corner
SHELTER OBSERVATION
On 2/26/24
Upon intake Chuy was nervously shaking, and did need the help of the owner to bring him into the shelter and once inside he did walk with me well but with a few stops where he needed to calm down and then walk again, he started to whine once his owner left the building, and no signs of aggression

Chuy is overwhelmed at the shelter, but would blossom in a quieter environment. He wants to trust people, but is timid at first. He has amazing leash skills and manners in general

Additional adoption info

We are not open to the public; all of our animals are viewed on our Facebook profile.

Animals will be matched to homes based off the needs of the animal and capabilities of the home.

We do not require current animals to be altered; we do not require fencing; we understand every home has a different dynamic and preferences.
