Story
You`re gonna want to subscribe to this guy! He was previously named Moose, but it just didn`t seem to suit his personality. At around 14lbs, This curly-tailed boy is little, fluffy and handsome! Chewy is potty-trained, and does well on walks. He has a good amount of playful energy, along with a need for couch snuggles and pets. His coat is soft and shaggy, and will definitely require grooming occasionally. He loves stuffed squeaky toys and sitting by your side. We think he`s ready to be delivered to his forever home and he cannot wait to start the next chapter of his life with you. Chewy is at our Cottonwood Mall location! Going to the Dogs (& Cats) Resale Shop & Adoption Center Cottonwood Mall (Upper Level next to MOR Furniture) 10000 Coors Bypass NW ABQ NM 87114 505-867-5347 Mon-Sat 11-5pm.
