About Chase

Chase is a 9-10 month old mix of shepherd, lab, and probably a few other things, sitting comfortably at a medium size around 45 pounds. He’s got a sweet, affectionate nature and a curious streak that keeps him interested in everything around him. Chase has always lived with other playful dogs, and a home with a dog buddy is a must—he really thrives in that kind of environment. He also prefers a fenced yard to play and romp, then slip inside for snuggles with his people. He’s gentle with everyone, including children, and handles treats with care. He’s both house trained and crate trained, and happily sleeps in the bed or sometimes right under it, letting out that soft little sigh when he gets cozy. You'll catch that signature one-ear-up, one-ear-down look more often than not. Chase knows a few commands and loves after-playtime cuddles. He’s still young and can get himself into typical ‘teenage’ mischief, so his new family should be ready to puppy-proof and watch their shoes. Leash walking is still new for him; he’s a little timid but learning quickly. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention. Ready to meet your new best friend?
