About Chewie

Meet Chewie, a delightful one-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix who is bouncing into life with enthusiasm! This 17-pound bundle of joy is currently in foster care in West Hollywood, CA, but his heart is set on finding a forever home anywhere in California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, or Washington. Chewie hasn’t met a stranger yet, thriving in the company of people of all ages and sizes. He’s also great with other dogs, making him the perfect companion for a household filled with furry friends. After being surrendered on his birthday—an event he’s willing to forgive—he’s ready for his much-deserved belated birthday present: a loving family to call his own. Chewie is a playful spirit, always ready to engage and spread joy. He knows how to sit, but his enthusiasm often gets the better of him. For him, every room is a playground, and he’s always curious about what fun activities await. With a wire coat and a heart full of love, he’s house trained and just waiting to bring fun, affection, and plenty of tail wags to his new home. If you’re looking to add a furry friend to your life, Chewie is ready to make it official. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
