🌟 Meet Chook, or as it translates, "Chicken" in Australian! Isn't that just delightfully fancy? 🍗 This adorable Bully Breed mix sports a rich red coat that’s as soft as a marshmallow and ears that have a personality all their own. Weighing in at a petite 42 pounds, Chook may not be the biggest pup on the block, but oh, does this bundle of joy have a BIG story to tell! Chook’s journey to finding a loving home has been quite the adventure. Rescued from a situation where a well-meaning bystander couldn’t handle the responsibilities of fostering, Chook was fortunate enough to meet his current foster pawrents. They are dog trainers, which means Chook is living the dream! 🍀 He’s been learning all sorts of nifty commands, like "sit" and "down," and his favorite? The ever-so-important "Place!" Oh yes, and he’s picked up how to respond to leash guidance like a pro. Now, don’t let that shy demeanor fool you—once Chook warms up, he becomes a delightful little whirlwind! 🚀 He loves to express himself with happy barks and takes off like a bullet in the backyard, joyfully running around like he’s won the dog lottery. While Chook would thrive with older teens, he prefers to sidestep the chaos of younger children, especially given his mouthy play style when engaging with humans. But wait, there’s more! Chook is a social butterfly when it comes to his canine friends. 🐶 He may have a slightly pushy play style at times, but worry not—he’s easily corrected and would absolutely revel in a home with other doggy companions! As for cats? Well, he hasn’t had the pleasure of meeting one yet, so it’s still a mystery! If you’re looking for a charming, affectionate buddy with a playful spirit, Chook may be the one for you! Just remember, a home with older teens and some playmates would be a dream come true for this sweet pup. Chook comes with foundational obedience skills and send-home lessons from his foster pawrents. To bring this sweet soul into your family, potential adopters must *apply through the Buddy App*—and don’t forget to check in as his story unfolds, as local adoption is $200 in TX and $450 out of state (transport included). Let’s make Chook's dream of a forever home come true! 💖🐾
