Each day she spends in foster care, Chomby grows more confident and learns that life is full of joy. Her love for other dogs makes her a perfect candidate for a home with a furry friend. Playful pups help Chomby feel comfortable and let her shine during playtime. This sweet girl gets along wonderfully with kids, as her 5-year-old foster sister can attest. Fetch is one of her favorite games, and she's always ready for some fun. The best part? Chomby is already crate trained and housebroken, showing impressive manners for her age.
