About Chase

Chase is a 12-year-old male Shih Tzu mix who has recently arrived at the shelter due to his previous owner being unable to care for him. He's small in size, with a lovely white and cream coat that hints at his gentle nature. While we begin to learn more about Chase’s personality and behavior through interactions and evaluations, he comes with some established training seen in dogs that have spent time in a home. We will update his bio as we discover more about him, including how he interacts with other animals. Chase is quite the sweetheart. Anyone interested in adopting him should fill out an adoption questionnaire. Our process is first-come, best-match, so it's important to act quickly. We encourage everyone in the household—children and other pets—to meet Chase to ensure they are a perfect fit. If you and Chase connect, we are excited to offer same-day adoptions! All adoption fees help cover essential services like spaying/neutering, vaccinations, and a microchip. Chase is ready to find his forever home—don’t miss your chance to give him that!
