(DOB 03/22/2020) Chase is the kind of dog who doesn't just walk into a room; he arrives, bringing a spark of joy that makes everything feel lighter, warmer, and a little more alive. At 6 years old, this charming poodle mix has found the perfect balance between playful energy and soulful companionship. Spend just a little time with him, and you'll quickly wonder how your home ever felt complete without him. This sweet boy is both dog- and kid-friendly, and his dream home includes another playful pup to share in the fun. Chase thrives on companionship and would love a family where someone is around more often than not, though he handles alone time just fine when needed. He's happiest being part of the action—whether that's tagging along for a car ride (one of his favorite things!), joining you for daily walks, or simply following you from room to room as your loyal little shadow. Chase is a spirited, high-energy pup who needs an outlet for his enthusiasm. A fenced yard is a must for zoomies, exploring, and burning off that joyful energy, along with a family committed to keeping him active and engaged. He's not a couch potato yet so his right home is ready for his playful nature. That's definitely part of his charm. (Cats, however, are not on his list of preferred roommates!) When the day winds down, Chase knows how to relax. He'll happily curl up in his favorite cozy spot and settle in for a peaceful night's sleep. He is house-trained, crate-trained, and has wonderful house manners. While he's still working on perfecting his leash skills, he's a smart boy who will thrive with a little consistency and guidance. One important note: Chase can be a bit of an escape artist and door-dasher, so a mindful home that prioritizes his safety is essential. He's looking for more than just a home; he's searching for his people. The perfect ones that will give him all the love he deserves. In return, he'll give you unwavering companionship, endless joy, and that special kind of everyday magic only a dog like Chase can bring. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick, a playful companion, and a dog who will fill your days with love and enery, Chase is ready and waiting to meet you. As part of Chase's $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
