About Chopper

Chopper’s got a face you can’t help but smile at, especially with those windswept ears. Potty trained and happy to sleep in his crate at night—though he’d much rather curl up beside you—Chopper makes himself right at home in any routine. He’s also leash trained and a joy to take for a walk. Smart and easily motivated by treats, Chopper’s quick to pick up commands and knows exactly how to win you over for a belly rub or two. When outside, he’s always first to greet you at the door, never tries to escape, and mixes well with other dogs. Chopper came in as a pup alongside his mother and littermates. An old leg injury gives him a mild limp but never slows down his playful spirit. He keeps up with bigger dogs and adores children, showing off his best side when little ones are around. His foster family calls him a crowd favorite, sharing how he loves food puzzles and chew toys, and how his extra-sweet personality stands out. At about 70-75 lbs, neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, Chopper is healthy, loving, and ready for his family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
