Story
Chili was found as a stray when she was about 12 weeks old. She was adopted but then found wandering months later. Thankfully her microchip led her back to us. We found her another home who kept her for several months but decided that chili needed a dog friend to play with and they did not want to get a second dog. She’s back now for a 3rd time. We’re praying that 3rd times a charm because Chili is a great dog. She’s dog friendly, loves kids, is potty trained, crate trained, and sweet as can be. She does need regular exercise and stimulation like any dog or she has been known to chew if bored. She has been treated for heartworms, vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She is immediately available.
