My story

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

If you’ve been searching for a dog who brings equal parts comedy, chaos, and cuddles… congratulations, you’ve just met Chessie!This 7-month-old chocolate pitty–lab mix is basically a mug of hot cocoa with legs—lots of legs.Well, three regular legs and one uniquely-styled, old-injury-but-still-fully-functional “custom” leg.Think of it as her signature feature, like a celebrity with a quirky smile. It doesn’t slow her down at all—in fact, you may need a seatbelt just to watch her run. Energy Level: HighLike… very high.Like “zoomies powered by espresso” high.Like “is she part kangaroo?” high.Chessie is learning “sit,” which is exciting because it`s currently her only mastered move besides “launch” and “squiggle.”She’s a good girl at heart, but she’s going to need consistent obedience training and someone who finds joy in the phrase “we’ll get there.” Ideal HomeA large fenced-in yard where she can unleash her inner track starHumans who appreciate enthusiasm, goofiness, and a dog who comes with complimentary cardioKids 12+ (she loves people, she just might accidentally yeet smaller ones)No cats, unless your cat is specifically looking to enter a witness protection programShe’s affectionate, eager to bond, and has a heart as big as her energy reserves.Yes, she’s a project—like a lovable, wiggly, chocolate-colored fixer-upper—but the kind that pays you back in snuggles, silliness, and unconditional love.If you’re ready for high-speed hugs, enthusiastic life commentary, and a best friend who thinks you hung the moon, Chessie is ready to meet you!
