Story
Meet Chewbacca "Chewy"!
Chewbacca, better known as Chewy, is a 1-year-old Pomeranian/Shih Tzu mix (or at least that's our best guess!) who packs an incredible amount of cuteness into a tiny 9-pound body.
This handsome little guy looks like he was brushed together from every shade of brown imaginable. His fluffy coat is absolutely gorgeous, with rich chocolate, caramel, and golden tones woven throughout, giving him a one-of-a-kind look. Add in his adorable scruffy face, soulful eyes, tiny size, and teddy bear appearance, and it's nearly impossible not to fall in love.
Chewy is what we like to call the King of the Couch.
Every king needs a throne, and for Chewy, that throne is a soft couch cushion. His favorite thing in the world is finding the coziest spot in the house, curling up into a little ball, and settling in for a nap. Whether it's a fluffy pillow, a cozy blanket, or your lap, if it's comfortable, Chewy approves.

And while he may start out a little shy, once he decides you're part of his inner circle, he becomes a total love bug. His foster says one of her favorite things about him is how much he enjoys cuddling. He loves sitting in laps, soaking up affection, and simply being close to the people he trusts.
Chewy is currently thriving in a foster home with lots of other dogs of different sizes and personalities. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has excellent manners, but he's more of a "let's peacefully coexist" type than a "let's wrestle for three hours" type. He especially appreciates dog friends who respect personal space and don't feel the need to bounce directly into his face every five seconds.
Think of him as the wise little gentleman at the party quietly enjoying the snacks while the younger crowd runs around causing chaos.
He also did very well meeting a cat. In fact, he was so unbothered by the cat that they were able to share the couch together. Even when the cat's tail smacked him in the face, Chewy basically shrugged and went right back to minding his own business. While we'd still recommend proper introductions and further testing in a home, he showed all the calm, respectful behaviors we love to see.
Chewy can be a little timid in new environments and may need a few days to decompress and settle in. New places and new people can be overwhelming at first, and his favorite coping strategy is usually finding a cozy couch and waiting for life to slow down a bit. Once he realizes he's safe, his sweet personality starts to shine through.
At just 9 pounds, Chewy is perfectly portable and easy to bring along on life's adventures. Whether that's joining you on a road trip, cuddling during movie night, or supervising your work-from-home schedule from a nearby pillow, he's happy just being near his people.
His ideal home would be one that understands that not every dog immediately becomes the life of the party. Chewy prefers a gentle approach to life, a comfortable couch, loving people, and a calm environment where he can build confidence at his own pace.
If you're looking for a tiny best friend with teddy bear looks, excellent couch manners, and a heart full of love just waiting to be shared, Chewbacca "Chewy" might be your perfect match.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
