About Cheif

Meet Chief. Chief is a 9-year-old German Shepherd with a gentle spirit and a laid-back attitude. He has moved beyond the puppy antics and now enjoys the finer things in life: peaceful walks, belly rubs, and cozy moments on the couch followed by delightful naps (complete with charming snoring). Always by your side, Chief will follow you around like a loyal shadow. While he still loves a good run around the yard, he equally appreciates winding down next to you at day's end. Chief has a solid appetite and takes his bacon treats very seriously. He is both crate trained and potty trained, making him a considerate housemate. Great with children and eager for companionship, he longs for a family where he can feel at home. If you seek a devoted and loving friend who knows how to be a perfect house dog, Chief might just be the one you've been looking for. At 9 years old, this sweet boy deserves a cozy place to rest and a family to love.
