About Chill

Chill is a 4-year-old, 13-pound scruffy terrier who embodies a relaxed approach to life. He arrived at the rescue alongside his buddy Netflix but definitely knows how to take things at his own pace. While Netflix may be eager to dive into the next episode, Chill prefers to assess his surroundings before making new friends. He’s a gentle soul who takes a little time to warm up to people. Chill will first gauge your trustworthiness and only then reveal his affectionate side. Once he feels at ease, he becomes a sweet companion who loves to be close to his humans. His name captures his character perfectly. Chill values calmness and prefers to bypass unnecessary drama. He seeks a loving home that allows him to set the pace as he adjusts to life outside of rescue. Chill is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has tested negative for heartworm and tick disease. He’s ready to find his forever family where he can snuggle up and enjoy life at a slower tempo. If you're prepared to offer a patient and loving environment, Chill is eager to meet you—just allow him a moment to get comfortable. Requirements include meeting everyone in the household, dog introductions (if needed), and a home check. They will not consider out-of-state adoptions. Adoption Fee: $350. Ready to make a new friend?
