My story

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

Do you ever get lonely? At home? At work? Folding laundry? Brushing your teeth? Well, dry your tears and kiss your lonely days goodbye when you adopt Chico! Chico is the perfect companion, ready to rest a reassuring paw on yours or lean his head on your shoulder every hour of the day.

Chico earned 10/10 in a recent short-term foster stint:
-Completely housetrained. (Bladder of steel!)
-Walks well on lead.
-Knows sit, shake, down, and responds to his name.
-Gets along with everyone he meets.
-Happy to be at your side at home or at the office.
-Sleeps like a rock through the night. (If you`re nearby.)
-LOVES other dogs! (Plays rough, but always plays fair.)
-Enthusiastic towards cats (Though resident cat did not reciprocate.)

Potential adopters should be prepared to know that he bonds fast and hard, so he is always under toe.

Whether watching you cook eggs, listening to you practice the piano, or helping you match socks: Chico is up for the job!
