Chunky Monkey is a laid-back, large mixed-breed dog (Shar-Pei and German Shorthaired Pointer) with a soft spot for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Rescued from a rough start, he’s proven himself polite and easygoing, letting you gear him up for walks and even sitting calmly through baths and grooming. At the park, Chunky relaxes in the company of pets, birds, and other dogs, soaking in the atmosphere with steady, non-reactive patience. He’s car-ride ready—just keep him from snagging the front seat. With a solid week of reliable outdoor potty breaks, he’s proven to be house trained and trustworthy indoors, even when left alone for a lengthy stretch. Chunky enjoys having a bit of room to roam and resents confinement; he’ll chew on crates if locked in and relies on single-layer blankets and sturdy toys to ease anxious chewing. Calming chews help quiet his nerves, but he hasn’t needed prescriptions since bouncing back from HGE. Chunky Monkey gets along with both dogs and cats, making him a welcome addition to homes with other animals. If you want a solid, affectionate companion that thrives with freedom, regular strolls, and loves a warm cuddle, Chunky’s ready for his next chapter. Click apply to start the adoption process.
