About Chadwick

Chadwick is the total package. He enjoys long walks and engaging tug games, especially with his 11 lb foster buddy, Benny. This affectionate guy loves to be a lap dog, often snuggling up between his people on the couch or curling up for a nap on a cozy lap. Don't be surprised if he shows off his fancy dance moves when he gets his butt scratched! He even has a delightful singing voice, perfect for serenading his friends. Weighing in at 45 lbs, Chadwick is spayed and up to date on vaccines, making him a great addition to any family. He's housebroken and potting outside almost every time. He may have some crate anxiety and is still refining his leash skills, so continued positive reinforcement training will be important. Chadwick thrives around other dogs and would love a forever home with furry companions. While he’s good with older kids, he might be a bit much for small ones due to his energy. He has shown signs of separation distress, which means a supportive environment will help him grow into his confident self. If you want to adopt this charming boy, fill out an application today!
