He's making solid progress with crate training and is on his way to being house trained, but like any young pup, he'll need patience and steady guidance as he matures. Chilli is blind in his left eye, likely from an old injury or something he was born with, but it truly doesn't hold him back. He explores, plays, and runs as eagerly as any other puppy. Chilli does well with other dogs, gets along with cats, and is gentle with children. He's neutered, up to date on his shots, and ready to join a home where he'll bring warmth, laughter, and plenty of spirit. Click apply to start the adoption process.
