Champ is a gentle spirit with a touching history. For the first two years, he knew little comfort, kept in a small kennel without even the feel of grass under his paws. His world has opened up at Grateful Rescue. He now enjoys playtime, healthy food, and all the love and vet care he never had. Champ gets along with other dogs, especially ones close to his own size, and a fenced yard is required to keep him safe while he learns about life outside. You’ll notice he’s shy at first, especially with new people, but his patience pays off in deep loyalty. He’s already neutered, up to date on flea and heartworm prevention, and has received his vaccinations. Champ’s ideal adopter will move slowly, offer patience, and understand the quiet rewards of helping a dog blossom into the companion he was meant to be. Born August 9, Champ is a Leo—a sun sign known for resilience and warmth, which fits this boy perfectly. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
