Meet Mr. Chunky a gentle, shy pup who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. New people, new spaces, and new experiences can make him a little unsure at first, so he does best with slow introductions and a calm, patient approach. He’s not the type to rush into things he likes to observe, take his time, and build trust before showing his full personality.
But once that trust is there, everything changes. Mr. Chunky turns into a playful, joyful little dog who loves to run, get his zoomies out, and enjoy life in his own goofy way. His happy energy comes in bursts, and it’s the kind that makes you smile without even realizing it. Seeing him go from quiet and cautious to confident and playful is truly special.
He’s looking for a home with someone who will truly understand him and is willing to let him grow at his own pace. Someone gentle, consistent, and kind a person who will celebrate the small wins, give him time to bloom, and help him build confidence day by day.
If your interested in adopting Mr Chunky, please visit the shelter during adoption hours.
