My story

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

Meet Hot Chocolate!

At just 2 years old and a solid 70 lbs, Hot Chocolate is a giant mug of sweetness wrapped in fur. This handsome boy bounces out of his kennel with a burst of energy, but hand him a ball or Frisbee and he settles right down once he gets the zoomies out.

On leash, he’s a total gentleman, and off leash he’s a big old teddy bear who will happily melt right into your lap. Truly, this boy believes personal space is a myth. If he’s not touching you, he at least needs to see you. He just loves his people that much.

Hot Chocolate is toy- and treat-motivated, great with kids, and full of affection—though families with very small children may want to keep an eye out only because he doesn’t quite understand how big he is when he gets excited. He doesn’t seem to have a prey drive on walks, and he’s shown positive, friendly body language around other dogs.

He’s also an opportunistic snacker, so don’t leave your dinner unattended—if he can reach it, he’ll gladly help himself.

If you’re looking for a lovable, goofy, oversized cuddle bug who wants to be your shadow and your best friend, Hot Chocolate is your guy. He’s a big lovebug with an even bigger heart, and he’s ready to sweeten someone’s life forever.

As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.

To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
