Due to his start on the streets, Chopito needs to go to a dog-savvy home, without small children, and to owners who will give him the love and patience he needs to flourish. Chopito has shown no food aggression. He knows sit and has learned to give paw. He has quickly adapted to the routines of his foster home. His favorite toy is a ball and squeaky toys. If it’s a squeaky ball- he can occupy himself for a long time tossing it around and chasing after it. He gets along well with the resident dogs, but prefers to play on his own or with his humans. After a long day of playing with his toys, Chopito loves to snuggle on the couch with his people. Chopito would love a home where at least one of his humans worked from home. He loves his people and gets very sad and whines whenever anyone leaves. He is protective of his people, barking at delivery drivers and anyone new. He quickly welcomes visitors once he knows they are not a threat. Chopito spends nights in his crate. He sometimes needs a treat to entice him to go inside. He goes in the crate during the day if his foster family needs to go somewhere. He sometimes takes some coaxing, but will go in if given a little time and he doesn’t feel threatened. His foster family has fallen in love with his caramel eyes and snuggles. Adoption application in the comments section!
