About Chunk

Meet Chunk, the sweet boy with a story behind his name. A small piece of his ear is missing, likely from a past hematoma, earning him the nickname Chunk. This affectionate pup lives up to his name, being a certified Velcro dog who enjoys cuddling and napping next to his human. He's friendly with both dogs and loves spending time on the patio. Rescued from Cooper-Young, Chunk was found covered in ticks and has since cleaned up nicely. He even demonstrated his intelligence by safely crossing a street on his own. Chunk is housebroken and crate-trained, plus he loves his kennel. He walks well on a leash and knows commands like sit, wait, and come. With a heartworm negative status and a clear fecal test, he’s ready for the next chapter. Now, he’s looking for a home where he can be someone's shadow and experience all the love he deserves. Chunk is waiting for you to open your heart and home. Let's make it official, apply to adopt!
