Meet Chaucer, the philosopher in fur! 🐾 This marvelous 11-year-old neutered male Brussels Griffon mix weighs in at a charming 20 pounds, with long legs that challenge the typical look of his breed. You know what they say—age is just a number, and doesn't every pup deserve to embrace their unique figure? Although he might've had an impressive beard back in the day (oh, the glory!), his previous family opted for a trim, and let’s just say Chaucer hasn’t fully come to terms with that change yet. 😅 Chaucer has the spirit of a quirky college professor—stubborn to the core but packed full of humor! He’s social and enjoys human company, delighting in the company of other dogs as long as he's the one calling the shots. Cats? Well, they’re still an enigma waiting to be unraveled. 🐈 Now, don't let his occasional stubbornness fool you; underneath that wise exterior lies a dog with a heart full of love! He adores leisurely strolls, navigates his walks with dignity, and understands basic commands—though he may pretend not to hear you at times. It’s all a ruse; trust me! You’ll need to outsmart this clever little guy to get him truly cooperating! But let’s talk about the bittersweet side of Chaucer's story. He’s lost three owners who cherished him, with his most recent companion sadly passing away. 💔 This wonderful pup is looking for a loving home to retire comfortably, preferably with someone who can be around him as much as possible. While he’s okay being crated, he might give you a little attitude when it’s time to settle down—no one said he didn’t have his quirks! Chaucer may not be a spring chicken, but he’s still as suave as ever! 🕶️ He’s ready to accompany his humans on all kinds of adventures, from walks to road trips. And dining at dog-friendly places? He’s a well-mannered gentleman who won’t beg once he knows your heart belongs to the food and not to those big, pleading eyes! If you believe you could be the perfect match for this sage little soul, let’s find out together! 🌈 Please apply through the Buddy App to meet Chaucer—remember, there’s no obligation, but an approved application is necessary for arranging a meeting. This fabulous furball is currently being fostered in Childress, TX.
