Meet Chewie Chewie is looking for a new home through no fault of his own. He came to us after his former family experienced unforeseen and tragic medical complications that made it impossible for them to keep him. While the circumstances were heartbreaking, Chewie has handled the transition with resilience and his trademark enthusiasm for life.
This is a fun dog! Chewie has a goofy, quirky personality that keeps people laughing and quickly wins them over. He loves playing fetch, enjoys engaging with his people, and thrives on interaction. He knows basic commands, is both treat- and toy-motivated, and is already housetrained—an excellent foundation for success in a new home.
Chewie has been reported to do well with other dogs in his former home, but a meet and greet with potential siblings is required to be sure. He is also accustomed to being around children; however, due to his energy level and love of play, we recommend a home with kids who are not toddlers, as he may unintentionally knock little ones over. He has not been around cats, so we cannot predict how he would do in a home with feline friends.
Named after Chewbacca for his delightfully scruffy appearance, Chewie was originally listed as a shepherd mix when he was adopted as a puppy from a different shelter. There is clearly something extra contributing to that fluff—most likely poodle, due to the doodle crisis we are in as a nation. Although possibly another wiry-coated breed, but whatever the mix, the result is one uniquely handsome, lovable dog.
Adoption Details: Chewie is available for adoption through EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org His adoption fee is $200 and he is now up to date on vaccinations, tested negative for heartworm, on monthly preventatives, and neutered. If you are looking for a playful, affectionate companion with personality to spare, Chewie may be your perfect match.
