About Chris

Meet Chris, a dog with two distinct personalities. In his kennel, he jumps around with exuberance, showcasing his lively spirit. But once outside, Chris transforms into a calm little companion, diligently exploring his surroundings before settling down to follow you closely. This affectionate pup knows how to sit and takes treats with a gentle touch. While he might not be interested in fetching balls or toys, Chris thrives on human companionship and enjoys giving sweet kisses. He gets along well with other dogs, showing friendliness when interacting through the fence. Although he tends to pull on leash, he walks much better in a harness, making him a great walking buddy. Chris is truly a lovable character who prefers a cozy spot at your side over jumping around alone. Ready to meet your new sidekick? Apply now!
