My story

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

Meet Chase!

First and foremost, Chase is going to need someone with confidence because he has none. Just about five years old, Chase is going through a tough transition right now. He's confused and overwhelmed and he probably never had much confidence to begin with and this situation obviously isn't helping.

Chase is a cattle dog/husky mix and he's definitely got the smarts from both breeds. He's a little over 40lbs and he's a very good boy just having a hard time adjusting to his whole world being flipped upside down. He's a big scaredy-cat until he's not, and then he'll lay belly up in your lap like the sensitive baby that he is. He's definitely a worrier but we think a lot of that anxiety comes from losing the person he got direction from and now it's left him with a whole lot of uncertainty.

Chase did previously live with kids but right now, he's scared of everything. The wind blowing the wrong way scares him, tennis balls scare him, and the quick movements and loud noises of kids would definitely scare him. He's not super enthusiastic about other dogs but is very non-confrontational and prefers to just avoid unless he absolutely can't. He's scared of cats because of course he is.

When Chase is comfortable with you, he's a little fluffy ball of sunshine. He'll be happy and super excited to see you and give you the happiest wiggles. He gives kisses and tail wags, he loves belly rubs, and loves being in someone's lap. He isn't terrible on a leash as far as pulling goes but does tend to get his leash wrapped around your legs and his own legs so he'll need some work. He's got the foundation and he's got the brains, he just needs someone to provide him with structure and much-needed confidence.
