About Chloe

Meet Chloe! She came into our care when her owner's circumstances changed. Affectionate and loyal, Chloe enjoys the company of her close circle but can be wary of new friends, especially dogs, as she has limited experience meeting them. Currently, she shows signs of anxiety around other dogs, preferring a calm environment where she can feel safe. Chloe can also display resource guarding behaviors, such as growling or snapping when approached during meal times or if someone reaches for her belongings. This means she needs a quiet home with patient adopters who can keep her world small while she acclimates to her new family. If you think you can provide Chloe with the nurturing environment she deserves, she would love to meet you!
