About Chloe

Chloe recently completed her "Farm Dog Internship" at Aunt Rachel's Farm, and she made quite the impression. She took her job as Head of Chicken Security seriously—nothing escaped her watchful patrols. Chloe met everything the farm could throw her way: cats, dogs, a pig, and horses, treating each new friend (and challenge) with a gentle but curious spirit. While she enthusiastically tried to help out with mowing the grass, she learned that lack of thumbs is a real setback. During her stay, Chloe proved herself to be sweet, polite, and easygoing. She didn’t startle any chickens, irritate the horses, or put the pig at risk. In fact, she looked like she belonged on the farm and clearly enjoyed the company of every critter she met. Chloe gets along well with dogs who have manners and keeps a respectful distance with everyone else. Now she just needs a home where her friendly, relaxed nature can shine.
