About Chonky

Chonky is back on the lookout for his forever home. This big-hearted American Staffordshire Terrier mix, weighing around 80 lbs, is searching for his third chance at love. He’s a five-year-old with a chocolate and cream coat, altered, and up to date on vaccinations. Chonky is super social and affectionate, having been rescued from a tough situation before finding his way to care and a supportive foster family. Chonky enjoys the quieter side of life, preferring lounging, belly rubs, and cozy sofa marathons over long walks or hikes. While he’s crate and house trained, he’s not keen on water and expresses his displeasure during baths. Good news is, he knows commands like sit, shake, and stay, and he’s a foodie at heart, waiting patiently for permission to eat. He thrives as a single dog or with a calm large breed dog in a home where he can learn and relax. While he’s friendly with strangers and children, older kids would suit him best due to his size and clumsiness. Chonky has a special bond with his cat roommate, but he may be skeptical around other cats. He’s great during car rides, always ready to be your co-pilot. If you think you could be the perfect human to fill that chonky square hole in your heart, contact Animal Care Services in San Antonio to arrange a meet and greet with Chonky!
