About Chewy

Chewy is a gentle, senior Yorkshire Terrier who’s friends with just about everyone—dogs, cats, and kids alike. He found himself in a tough spot lately and came to rescue severely underweight, but he’s bounced back and is ready for a loving home. At about 10 years old and neutered, Chewy prefers a peaceful household, ideally with cats or another calm, quiet dog. He’s devoted to outdoor time, enjoys car rides (and settles in quietly for them), and is fully house trained. Right now he’s on a soft food diet while he regains his strength, but he’s making good progress. Chewy’s loyal, mellow spirit fits right into a laid-back household. What are you waiting for?
