My story

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

🌸 Meet Chika — Your Sunshine-Loving, Gentle Companion! 🌸
Looking for a sweet soul to share quiet moments, sun-drenched afternoons, and unconditional love? Chika might just be your perfect match.
This soft-eyed girl is a gentle spirit with a heart of gold. She may be a little shy at first, but give her some time and patience, and you’ll discover a deeply loyal and loving companion who just wants to be near you — especially if you’re outside!

🌿 Nature is Her Happy Place
Chika adores the outdoors. Whether she’s lounging in the grass, sniffing the breeze, watching squirrels with laser focus, or supervising your yard work with quiet dedication, she truly shines when she’s outside. After spending nearly a year in a Texas foster home where she lived outdoors, it’s no wonder that sunshine and fresh air are her happy place. She absolutely LOVES to lay around outside.

🍪 A Smart Cookie:
Chika enjoys learning and has already mastered:
Sit
Down
Touch
Stand
Paw
Recall

🏡 Chika Would Thrive With:
A calm or moderately active home
Long sniffy walks
Patient, gentle humans willing to let her bloom at her own pace
A fenced yard to enjoy her outdoor time safely (but not mandatory)
Maybe a calm dog sibling to share naps and sunbeams with

💗 Chika is Waiting for Her Forever Home!
If you’re the kind of person who believes that love is earned through patience, and that quiet moments can be the most meaningful — Chika is waiting to meet you. She’s not just looking for a home — she’s looking for someone to trust, to love, and to follow wherever life leads.

I am an All-Star dog! My adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and I will go home with my very own no pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get us off to a good start. To learn more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! I hope to meet you soon!

Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (6 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Current programming such as our Adoption Program, Military Veterans’ Program, and Healing Paws Pet Therapy Program create positive, impactful connections between people and animals, improving the lives of both. Future programs will be offered in partnership with human-service organizations throughout our community, maximizing impact and changing lives for the better.

Anderson Humane is a resource for pet owners, providing information and services to provide better care for their pets.

On the horizon are additional programs to keep pets in homes, such as a pet food pantry, affordable pet training options, and temporary housing for pets when families are in crisis.
