About Chyna

Chyna is equal parts marshmallow and loyal companion, always within arm’s reach and happiest when she’s nestled up beside you. She’s a soft-hearted, big-bodied senior with the snoot of a comic and a commitment to keeping you company on the couch. At 10 years old, Chyna still enjoys a little fetch, backyard patrol duty, and car rides that put her in pole position up front. Despite her size, she aims for lap-dog status and can only be described as a certified Velcro dog—get up, and she’s up with you. She’s house trained, never requires crating, and is up to date on vaccines and spayed. Chyna has soft manners: she walks on leash with an easy pace and prefers a quiet household. She gets along well with older children, but she draws the line at sharing home territory with other dogs or cats—she wants to be your only pet. After coming to Rescue Haven Foundation by way of Yonkers Animal Shelter and losing her previous family due to unfortunate circumstances, Chyna has handled her journey with a hopeful wag and a gentle presence.
