About Chunk

Start your journey together! Apply now. Chunk is an approximately 4-year-old male, neutered Micro Bully who is truly wonderful with other dogs. Living in a cage-free facility among 30–40 other dogs, he’s proven himself to be extremely social and easygoing with canine companions. He has received comprehensive veterinary care, including bloodwork, thyroid and urinalysis testing, dental cleaning, yearly vaccines, fecal checks, a microchip, deworming, and a heartworm test, so he is all set for a healthy start in a new home. Chunk’s ideal adopter will own a single-family home with a fenced-in backyard (not a screened-in pool area or courtyard). This environment will provide him the safe space he needs to thrive and enjoy outdoor time. Adoptions are limited to Palm Beach County only, with no exceptions. To ensure Chunk is placed in the best possible home, the rescue also requires a robust application process, including a home check and a review of five years of past/present veterinary records with your vet. Approved adopters get to visit the rescue’s dog store, selecting a complimentary goodie bag full of essentials and treats for their new pup. Chunk also comes with one month of free pet insurance. Give him the loving forever home he deserves, and he will reward you with companionship and joy. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
