About Chief

Chief is a senior fellow with serious charm. This small older guy settles easily into any soft spot he finds—especially if it’s next to a person. He’s survived a winding adventure or two, but these days, Chief’s only agenda is a nap in the sun, a decent cuddle, and a few laughs when the mood strikes. His soulful eyes say plenty, and if you take the time, you’ll feel like you’re swapping stories with an old friend. Life’s simple pleasures turn into something extra with Chief around. He’s easy company, steady, and warms up quickly if you give him an extra belly rub or a comfy pillow. Anyone who takes him home will get a partner who understands the value of a quiet evening or the joy found in the little moments. As a senior, he does need a bit of extra care, but you’ll get even more love in return. Chief would do best with someone who appreciates old souls and doesn’t mind a little slow-down in their routine.
