Chestnut is a joyful, playful boy with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. He had a rough start, found as a puppy on the streets of Cabo San Lucas and recently recovering from surgery. Despite everything, Chestnut is the kind of dog who meets the world with joy, trust, and a whole lot of love. He’s the cuddliest pup you’ll ever meet—truly just wants nothing more than to be next to you on the couch, pawing gently for your attention and gazing at you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to him. He’s also playful, goofy, and food-motivated (bonus: he loves fruit!). Chestnut has gained tons of confidence in his foster home. He loves his walks, does excellent zoomies, and is content hanging out at home solo when needed. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and working on his leash manners like a champ. He would thrive in a home with adults or older kids (13+) who understand the joy and responsibility of raising an energetic, loving dog as a true family member. Chestnut is ready to bring love, loyalty, and cuddles into his forever home.
