About Chopper

Chopper is a small, white Pekingese/Poodle mix who has faced more than his share of changes for just 2½ years old. He started life with one family, but an unexpected rehoming left him in the hands of strangers. Just as he was starting to find happiness again—especially with the family’s young child—another twist came when his new family faced eviction, and he landed in rescue care. Through it all, Chopper has stayed resilient. He’s friendly, loves playing with stuffed toys, enjoys hanging out with other dogs, and is content curling up for a TV marathon once playtime is over. Chopper walks calmly on leash, is house-trained and crate-trained, relishes car rides and, more than anything, just wants to feel secure with a family that will truly be his forever. He’s already neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Chopper gets along with kids, dogs, and cats, and seems especially drawn to loving companionship and security. If your household is looking for a true little buddy with a big, affectionate heart and some real life experience, Chopper could fit right in. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
