About Chevy

Meet Chevy, a charming guy who needs a forever home. Chevy was found about two months ago in the Big Springs/Toponce area, and after searching for his owners, he has sadly been presumed dumped. Despite this, he is an incredible companion. Chevy displays the traits of a farm dog; he thrives outdoors but also loves to cozy up inside. He’s friendly with other dogs and great with kids, as long as introductions are calm. At around 5 years old, Chevy is neutered and has received all his vaccinations. He might need a good bath, but he enjoys the rain and sprinklers. Although he’s potty trained and very obedient, he has a fear of collars that may stem from past experiences. Furthermore, he has excellent recall and follows commands impressively. Chevy would truly shine on a ranch or farm, where he can run freely and accompany you on a four-wheeler. We’re seeking an appropriate home, hence, a meet-and-greet and property check are necessary. There is no adoption fee, but contributions will support future fosters and cover Chevy's vet care. If you think you could be the right match, please get in touch!
