About Chole

Chole lights up any room she enters—curious, bold, and always up for an adventure. Fostered in Southbridge, MA but adoptable anywhere in the Northeast, her playful nature and love for the outdoors stand out immediately. Chole greets everyone with wagging enthusiasm and is happiest when she has a playmate or a yard to roam. Wrestling, chase, and tug-of-war with other dogs are some of her favorite activities. She’s confident, outgoing, and shares her toys and food nicely. Fully house and crate trained already, Chole takes well to routine and structure. She craves guidance, learns quickly, and responds best to positive reinforcement. While her big personality and energy make her a fun companion, she’s still a puppy at heart—she’ll need someone who understands the effort and patience young dogs require. A fenced yard is a bonus, and Chole would really benefit from having another dog in the home. Those with prior dog experience will appreciate her intelligence and spunk. The ideal home enjoys adventure and isn’t shy about getting a little muddy on the weekends. The rescue recommends children in the home be 10 and up, so Chole and her people get the best match possible. She would thrive with a family who makes her part of their active routines and is committed to helping her grow. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
