About Chase

Chase and his buddy Rocky were left to fend for themselves on a rural county roadside until a passerby noticed them, and fortunately, she didn’t forget. Days later, when the dogs were still waiting and watching for their previous owners, she took action—picking them up and holding them safe through the shelter process, and now fosters them herself. Chase is roughly 8-9 months old, weighs around 31 pounds, and fits the profile of an Australian Cattle Dog mix. He’s fully neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. No real training so far—he’ll jump up to say hello, and sometimes play-mouths your arm to ask for affection. He clearly craves connection and is eager for guidance and love. Chase gets along with other dogs and children, making him a flexible fit for different homes. He’s never had proper house training, so patience is needed. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic, medium-sized dog ready to bond, Chase is waiting in Kings Mountain, NC. Click apply to start the adoption process.
