Introducing the fabulous Chelo! 🌟 This lovely Doberman/German Shepherd mix is not just a pretty face; she’s got a heart of gold and a personality to match! With her stunning brown and black coat, warm, soulful eyes, and that gentle presence, Chelo is simply irresistible. Born in June 2024, she’s a healthy 50 pounds of love, and she’s ready to find the family of her dreams! Chelo is the very definition of sweetness! 😍 Whether it’s lounging on the couch or frolicking in the yard, she has this wonderful balance of playful and calm that makes her a joy to be around. Though she may take a little time to adjust to new environments, once she settles in, you’ll see just how quickly she bonds with the people she loves. Kids? She adores them! 🎉 Interaction time and playtime with children really get her tail wagging. And with adults, she’s warm and welcoming, handling all kinds of love and attention, although a gentle hand during grooming or vet visits definitely helps her feel more at ease. When it comes to other dogs, Chelo is the epitome of harmony. 🐕 She's submissive, easygoing, and oh-so-respectful. While she enjoys the charm of canine companions, she doesn’t rely on them for confidence; instead, she's the kind of dog that thrives in meaningful, one-on-one interactions rather than chaotic group settings. And great news—she doesn’t guard her resources and has shown no signs of aggression or reactivity! Chelo’s energy could be described as moderately playful—she loves her daily walks and wonderful backyard adventures! 🌳 A yard to stretch her legs would be a fantastic fit for her. Chelo is adaptable, and there’s nothing concerning about her behavior; she’s a steady soul without any escape tendencies. Now, every star deserves its shine, and Chelo will need a little more work with potty training, crate training, and leash skills. But fear not—she’s eager to please and learns beautifully when given gentle and consistent guidance. An adopter with patience and structure will see this bright star blossom into her fullest potential! Ah, Chelo is currently in foster care in Texas, and she will be transported to her approved forever family. There are weekly departures, and she can’t wait to complete her journey to YOU! Let’s talk truth: every rescue animal comes with a story, and Chelo is no exception. She’s a reminder that adoption isn’t about finding perfection but rather about showing up. It’s about building that trust every day, watching as they bloom into the best version of themselves. And you might just find that you’ve been rescued too, in the process! 💖🕊️ So, if Chelo has stolen a piece of your heart—and how could she not?—make sure to apply to adopt her through the Buddy App! 📲❤️
