Story

Chino's DOB as documented by the MD SCPA is 11/11/11. He is in decent health but his back legs do give way occasionally, and he has to pee every 2 hours. He can walk about a block and back home at this point. He is in good spirits and his appetite, as always, is in tact. He will eat any and all food - bananas, mangoes, Indian, Chinese. You name, he will eat it. He is very good with people, children and other dogs (never been exposed to cats since I am allergic). He especially loves ladies. He has always been very healthy and his last vet shots were in October of 2024. Not sure how long he has left but I would like to rehome him rather than return him to the MD SCPA although I expect they would take very good care of him in his "retirement" years.

Story

I got Chico when he was a year and a half. he’s a very good dog, follows commands, easily trained, and gets along well with kids and other pets! Chico rarely barks/growls but he does love to talk back lol. I believe he was once an emotional support animal based off his gravitation towards me, he’s very clingy!
