~DOB: 9/1/2024 Weight: 55lbs Energy Level: High Overall Drive: High Location: Mt. Vernon, WA Meet Chai – Your Daily Dose of Caffeine in Dog Form! ​ If your morning coffee ever came to life, it would be Chai - a one-year-old Dutch Shepherd with the perfect blend of sweetness, energy, and spice! At 55 pounds, this bouncy ball enthusiast lives for adventure, playtime, and any excuse to zoom around with her favorite humans. ​ Chai is a total social butterfly and greets everyone like a long-lost friend and lights up every place she visits. She’s confident, affectionate, and never shy about handing you her toy (translation: it’s fetch time again). Just remember: Chai’s idea of “sharing” involves two balls minimum - one to throw and one for her to hoard. ​ She’s got brains to match her brawn! Chai knows all the basics like sit, down, wait, go to bed, find your ball, and she’s working on perfecting her “drop it” (hey, baby steps). She’s potty trained, crate trained, and car rides? Absolute yes. Vet visits? Double yes!! She loves making new friends, even the ones holding thermometers. ​ Chai thrives with structure, play, and plenty of mental stimulation. She’d make a stellar hiking buddy, jogging partner, or agility teammate - anything that lets her stretch those Shepherd skills. Because of her high prey drive, she requires a home without cats or small animals, and she’d do great with kids 10 and up who can handle her zest for life. ​ In short, Chai is the ultimate “let’s go!” companion: smart, loyal, goofy, and endlessly loving. If you’re looking for a four-legged sidekick who’ll keep you smiling (and moving!) every day, grab your sneakers and a couple of tennis balls... and come meet your new best friend!
