About Chief

Chief is a wonderful 5-year-old Shepherd mix, weighing around 60 pounds. He was surrendered to our rescue and is now looking for a calm, stable home. Chief thrives in an environment without regular visits from young children, as he can become anxious and protective, particularly with his things. He does well with other dogs, including smaller breeds, and loves his immediate family, but he feels uneasy around the grandkids who visit. To ensure his comfort, Chief needs a fully fenced yard and a household where someone is often present. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations, ready to find the right match to help him settle in. This thoughtful pet deserves a special home that respects his personality and his needs. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
