Chai is a 5-year-old classic Basset with a soft heart and a tender spirit. She can be very shy when meeting new people and may hide at first, but given a little time and kindness, she warms up beautifully. Once she feels safe, her affectionate side shines and she becomes devoted to her person. With other dogs, Chai is instantly at ease and clearly finds comfort in canine companionship.
Outside, Chai enjoys playing in the yard, going for walks, and even snacking on snowballs when the weather allows. Indoors, she’s a total couch potato who loves to relax and stay close to her favorite human. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and actually enjoys her crate, making her wonderfully easy to care for. Her moderate activity level makes her a great balance of playful and calm.
Chai would thrive in a patient, loving home that understands shy dogs and allows her to build trust at her own pace. She would likely be happiest with another friendly dog in the home, though she may adjust to being an only dog once she’s fully bonded. She has done well around older children and is believed to be fine with cats.
If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who blossoms with love, Chai may be the perfect match. Contact BROOD today to meet Chai! Her adoption fee is $300.00.
**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/ We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference. The age of BROOD dogs is an estimate, as very few come with exact age records. 02/08/2026
