About CHESTNUT Faithful Friend

CHESTNUT is located in Hico, Texas. Are you searching for a young puppy with ears as big as his heart? Chestnut might be the perfect match for you! This sweet boy and his eight siblings were found abandoned at a cemetery in Hamilton, Texas, and have since made their way to the shelter in Hico, TX. Chestnut is a 5-month-old, 26 lbs., neutered male hound mix. He adores people and gets along well with other dogs, though he’s a bit on the submissive side, which can make him a target for his more boisterous siblings. Chestnut enjoys a playful version of fetch, where he’ll chase after a toy but hasn’t quite figured out the return part yet. Watching his big ears flop as he runs is a delightful sight. Chestnut is up to date on his vaccinations—Rabies, Bordetella—and is on preventatives for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. He’s doggy door trained and shows promise for indoor living. While he hasn’t had much leash experience yet, he should adapt quickly with a patient owner. He’s likely to do well with older children but may chase after cats. Above all, he’s a happy and healthy pup ready for guidance and love. Could you be the one to give him a forever home? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
