My story

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

🎉 Meet Chilton: The Himbo Hurricane You Didn’t Know You Needed 🌪️🐶

Brace yourselves, folks. This ain’t your average dog. This is Chilton—a 2-year-old, big ol’ beefcake of a pup who entered the shelter on 7/27/25 like a wrecking ball made of joy, muscle, and questionable decision-making skills.

He is:
✅ Handsome (like, model-on-a-dog-food-bag handsome)
✅ Friendly (will kiss strangers, squirrels, furniture)
✅ LOADED with chaotic zoomie energy that could power a rocket
✅ Not entirely sure how big he is or how legs work sometimes

Imagine if a frat bro, a golden retriever, and a toddler after birthday cake all got stuck in one body. That’s Chilton.

He’s the kind of dog who would absolutely try to help you do yoga and end up body-slamming you into the floor with love. He plays hard, naps harder, and lives life like he’s got one brain cell—and it’s on a coffee break.

We won’t lie:
🥴 He might play a little too rough when the excitement kicks in.
😅 He might think personal space is a myth.
💥 He will love you with the enthusiasm of a thousand suns.

Chilton’s dream home?
🏃 Someone active, fun, and not afraid of the occasional accidental headbutt
🎾 A toy stash that can survive a mini tornado
🧠 A human ready to help him learn that “enthusiasm” is great, but “manners” are even better

He’s not a fixer-upper—he’s just a lovable hot mess looking for his ride-or-die. So if you’re ready to laugh, tumble, cuddle, and possibly replace a few chewed shoes… Chilton is your soulmate.
