My story

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

Meet ChiChi



4yrs old | 11lbs 



ChiChi is an energetic, outdoorsy pup who is currently recovering from a left eye enucleation and cryptorchid neuter (1/8). While he continues to heal, we’re also getting to know him better and helping him feel more comfortable as he settles into a routine.



At this time, ChiChi is not a fan of being touched and appreciates having his personal space respected. He’s looking for a calm, patient home that understands that trust can take time and is willing to let the relationship grow at his pace. He will need to be the only dog in the home.



What ChiChi loves most is staying active! He’s a high-energy guy who thrives on:





  • Long walks and time outdoors




  • Playing ball and engaging activities




  • Mental and physical enrichment





ChiChi is expressive and currently uses his voice to communicate his needs, especially when he’s feeling excited or wants something. With consistency and guidance, this is something we’re actively working on, and his future foster or adopter should be open to continuing that work.



Structure has been really helpful for ChiChi as he recovers and adjusts. He does best with:





  • Clear, consistent boundaries




  • Staying off furniture




  • A drag leash indoors to help guide and support good habits





ChiChi is looking for an experienced, committed home that enjoys an active lifestyle and understands the value of routine. With patience, structure, and time, he has the potential to continue making great progress.



If you’re someone who appreciates a dog with energy, personality, and a need for thoughtful guidance, ChiChi could be a great fit.



Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.  



To apply for Chi Chi, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.



Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.
