About Chandler

Chandler is 3.5 years old and a solid 74 pounds of brindle charm. He has the look of a seasoned heartbreaker and the soul of a golden retriever in a pit bull’s body: sweet, goofy, and absolutely devoted to anyone willing to share a treat or sit down for a chat. Chandler is the definition of affection—cuddles come standard, and he’s at his happiest right next to his people. He’ll make you laugh with his playful antics, especially a talent for squeaky toys and dramatic backyard zoomies. Chandler gets along with other dogs who match his vibe and is fully house trained (he’s way too civilized for accidents). He’s crate trained but will always prefer a spot on your bed if you let him. Leash walks? He’ll stick with you anywhere—he just wants to be close. Sensitive and a bit of a clown, Chandler is equal parts lap dog and playmate. Large, fenced yard is a must for this guy; he craves space for his energetic bursts and emotional comfort. He’s the type who’ll climb into the front seat during a car ride just because the back feels too far from his favorite human. Chandler can’t figure out why he’s still waiting for a home—maybe you’re the missing piece. Chandler is in St. Peters, MO and was born on November 18, making him a proud Scorpio—expect a dog with charm and a deep loyalty. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
