About Chewy

Chewy needs time to warm up to new people, and will do best with adopters who understand he isn't the kind to greet strangers at the door. He came in as a stressed stray, but he's made noticeable progress at the shelter. Chewy gets along with other dogs, but he isn’t a fan of cats. The best placement for him is an adults-only home, but older, mature children could be a fit. He's playful and motivated by treats—you’ll probably win him over fastest by offering snacks. Balls and stuffed toys are his top choices, though be warned he’ll shred the stuffies every chance he gets. Chewy is searching for a calm, stable home where he can feel secure. Give him the chance to open up; he just needs a little patience to show his true self. For those curious, Chewy is a Virgo—so expect some quirks and a desire for routine. What are you waiting for?
