About Chapis

Meet Chapis, the sweet social butterfly who brings joy with her zoomies and cuddles. This affectionate and gentle girl knows how to balance playful adventures and quiet moments. Whether she's running around, playing fetch, or lounging on the couch, Chapis truly loves being part of family life. Chapis has shown remarkable patience and kindness, especially around children. Her foster family notes how she enjoys gentle playtime with their three-year-old, making her a great fit for families. With a low-to-medium energy level, she can indulge in fun activities but is equally happy just snuggling on the sofa. Chapis loves meeting new people and can be a bit excitable, sometimes jumping or barking when greeting others. To ensure safety, her future family should provide securely fitted collars and leashes, as she has a knack for slipping out of them when overly excited. This charming girl does well with other dogs after careful introductions and would prefer a home without cats, as she tends to chase them. Chapis would thrive in a home where she can enjoy walks, play, and plenty of cuddling while being part of a family that appreciates her lovable personality. Could this affectionate girl be your new best friend? Ready to meet Chapis? Your journey starts here!
