My story

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

Hi, my name is Chaya! <br/><br/>I am a sweet, goofy and sassy lil thing. I spent some time at Pups for Parolees. That means I lived with a parolee, and he worked with me learning how to be an even better dog than I already was! Im kennel and potty trained. I learned many commands such as sit, stay, wait, off, shake. There were other dogs too and they were fine to play with, but I preferred to watch their silliness and be with my people. Check out my video and Ill give you a smile - I promise!!<br/><br/>My instructor called me a social butterfly because I love attention and being petted. I do have to admit I have lots of energy (hey, Im young!!). I am easily calmed with slow long gentle strokes and a calm voice. I was still learning some things when I returned to the shelter (so you can meet me). I was learning the lie down command and not jumping on anyone so would you work with me on those 2 things? Im improving but I just love to greet people with a big hug, and I have no idea why that isnt appropriate, but Im told it is not so Im learning.<br/><br/>Im always excited to see my shelter friends every day. Can you imagine how much happier I will be to see my very own family every day? If youre looking for a gal that is happy, silly and party time is the greatest pastime, then come ask for Chaya!!<br/><br/>All my love,<br/>Chaya xoxoxoxo
