About Chunky

Meet Chunky, a sweet and gentle one-year-old Xoloitzcuintli who weighs just under ten pounds. With his moderate energy, he's content to entertain himself, but really comes alive during snuggle time. Chunky quickly adjusted to his foster home, befriending the resident dog in no time. His affectionate nature shines through as he loves making eye contact, placing his paw on you for those extra scratches he adores. He’s pee pad trained and behaves well when left alone. While he's still gaining confidence on a leash—especially in the rain—his days are filled with napping, burrowing in blankets, and having fun with his favorite donut toy. Notably, as a Xolo, he has very little hair and doesn't shed at all! Chunky would thrive with an adopter looking for a devoted companion, ideally someone who is home often. He’s suitable as an only dog or with another pup, making him a great choice for apartment living. His foster has praised him as the easiest dog he’s cared for, highlighting Chunky's gentle and affectionate personality. If you're seeking a loyal snuggle buddy, Chunky is your guy.
