About Chuck

Chuck is a charming seven-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback looking for a loving home. Weighing in at 65 pounds, he's a gentle giant ready to bring joy to your life. Sadly, his family can no longer care for him due to frequent travel, so Legacy Humane Society is stepping in to help him find a new family that can offer the time and attention he deserves. He’s house trained and comfortable being left alone while enjoying the chance to freely roam around his home. Chuck loves long walks, enjoys car rides, and he's a water enthusiast who happily plays and swims. While he can relax indoors, he also possesses a playful energy that makes him fun to have around. Chuck thrives in a household with other dogs and gets along splendidly with kids. Although he's friendly and loves human companionship, he may become a little anxious if left alone for too long. Chuck is neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. He's ready to find his forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
