About Chief

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Meet Chief! If this brindle studmuffin looks familiar, don't worry—your eyes aren't deceiving you. Chief is back on the market and ready to find his true forever family. After an eight-month break from his foster family, he’s eager to settle into a loving home for good. Now 1.5 years old, Chief was the biggest boy of the Nine Stories Litter and tips the scales at just over 70 lbs. His striking brindle and white coat, floppy ears, and infectious smile make him a standout. Chief's ideal home is outside the city limits, away from all the noise of a busy neighborhood. As a Pitty and Treeing Walker Coonhound mix, he thrives in a peaceful environment with a spacious, physically fenced-in yard—this is a must for him. Chief is a social butterfly who loves other dogs, enjoys racing around the yard, and can keep himself amused with his favorite bones. He's also incredibly smart, so a family committed to continuing his training will help him reach his full potential. Chief is available for adoption through Ma, Paws & Me Pet Rescue in Watertown, WI. He is already neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives. Born February 10, Chief is an Aquarius, so expect a playful and independent spirit in your home! Ma, Paws & Me Pet Rescue places all their dogs in foster homes, so there's no central shelter for daily visits. Meetings are arranged for approved adopters. Give him the home he’s been dreaming of—Chief can’t wait to meet you! Start your journey together! Apply now.
