ChaChi (Charlie)

Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup) Pekingese

Male, 5 yrs
Oxford, CT
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
ChaChi is a 5-year-old, Poodle/Pekingese mix. He's a 12-pound bundle of personality who came to Good Catch as an owner surrender. His previous family loved him dearly but found themselves too busy to give him the attention he deserved. ChaChi needs someone who has the time (retired or works from home) to pile on the daily love this boy deserves. If you're looking for a canine personal assistant ChaChi's got it covered. He will follow his person from room to room, loves being carried about, and would like to know your whereabouts at all times. He's a perfect boy who just wants to be near his human. This fuzzy boy is full of life! He loves playing tug-of-war, fetch, and just about any other game you can think of even if the rules aren't clear. ChaChi strikes a great balance between energy and chill—he’ll zoom around for a bit, then be more than happy to curl up on his bed for some downtime. He's a master at both napping (preferably on a lap) and leaping over piles of snow. While we’re not sure why, we know he’s happiest in a home as the only dog. He also has a strong prey drive and sees cats as something to chase, so a cat-free home is a must. Grooming? No problem! ChaChi did great at the groomer and will need a trim every couple of months to keep his ears clean and his rear tidy. He’s friendly with everyone he meets and will make your heart smile as your loyal sidekick. ChaChi is fully vetted, microchipped, and currently on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Ready to add some zoomies, snuggles, and endless love to your life? ChaChi’s waiting! ChaChi is being fostered in Brattleboro, VT.

Stella is a sweet girl for the right person. She loves a long walk or car ride. She loves to cuddle she is always the little spoon. Stella isnt great with kids. She had gotten used to our older two but does not do well with the baby. She will walk away or leave the room if the baby enters but has snapped. We have a cat but Stella does not do well with other animals. In a perfect world Stella has a single owner or adults with no children and space to run around. She loves a good game of fetch. She knows sit stay go lay down. When told to go to the cage she will. funny enough we accidentally trained her to go in the crate when we say Alexa play dog music.
