About Chino

Chino Meet Chino, a playful and friendly seven-year-old who weighs twelve pounds! He’s easygoing and has a moderate energy level, making him adaptable to new situations. Chino enjoys the company of people, taking a moment to assess guests before settling in comfortably alongside them. With other dogs, Chino is friendly and curious. He’s potty trained, knows how to walk perfectly on a leash, and handles being left alone quite well, often choosing to take a nap. Whether it’s a trip to a restaurant, exploring the park, or commuting by subway, Chino is an excellent companion. His daily routine consists of four walks, including a longer one in the afternoon, along with plenty of rest and playtime. While he has toys, he prefers interacting with his human, enjoying moments of play and relaxation. Chino thrives in a moderate home where he can receive love and attention; a guardian who works from home or is present during the day would be ideal. He appreciates some quiet time as well and will communicate when he needs it. This little guy is perfectly sized for apartment living. A note from his foster says, “Chino is a perfect dog in many ways. Even though he is small, he has so much love to give.” Ready to meet Chino? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
