About Chief

Meet Chief, a lovable Great Dane mix and our goofy old man at 138 pounds. This gentle giant is sweet, dopey, and blissfully unaware of just how big he really is.

We're helping him gain some much-needed weight, so expect this boy to become even thicker as he grows stronger. Chief is looking for a forever home where he can continue to fill out, enjoy life, and be adored for the goofy mascot he is.
