Meet Chris Stapleton! This delightful Shepherd mix is a lively fella, around 2.5 years old and weighing 46 pounds of pure joy! 🌟 When it comes to personalities, Chris is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. He's playful, affectionate, and simply loves to cuddle! However, he does have this adorable tendency to get a little bouncy—think of him as the most enthusiastic squirrel you’ve ever met! 🐿️😄 His love for life is infectious, and every day is a chance for him to charm everyone he meets. Now, Chris is on the hunt for someone special to make him their lifelong buddy. He’s been through a little rough patch, returning to rescue for separation anxiety, but oh, has he come a long way! With the right pack around him—especially his canine companions—he’s blossomed into a calm, happy boy who settles down beautifully in his routine. You see, this pup has learned that a loving family can help drown out those anxious thoughts. 🐾💖 Though he can be a bit of a stud, fancying himself the Casanova among female canines, he’s respectful and eager to please after he's given a gentle reminder about boundaries. He gets along splendidly with male dogs and even loves cats! Just be sure they have a dog-savvy attitude, as he’ll be ready to invite them to play the moment they dash away! 🐱✨ When it comes to kids, Chris is all in for fun as long as they’re 6 years or older—perfect for a playful boy who might unintentionally knock over the littler ones in his excitement. If you’re looking for a buddy who’s filled with character and drive, Chris is your man! 💖 He’s well on his way to being housebroken and crate trained, and while he has some catching up to do with his leash manners, he's making progress! He’ll definitely thrive in an environment where he can stretch his legs and work that clever brain of his! 🏃‍♂️💡 Chris Stapleton is ready to be someone’s forever partner in crime. He’s out there waiting for someone to take him home, where he can happily bounce, cuddle, and snuggle his way into hearts for good!
