About Chase

Meet Chase! This young Shih Tzu, at just under two years old, has a special birthday—he was born on Thanksgiving Day! Currently searching for his forever home, Chase embodies the true essence of a Velcro dog, eagerly following his people everywhere. It’s clear that he thrives on attention and affection, always wanting to be in the mix of whatever you’re doing. After a loving start with his previous owner, who faced some tough times and made the difficult choice to let him go, Chase is ready for a new chapter. Chase enjoys playful moments and gets along well with other small dogs. However, he’s a bit feisty when it comes to big dogs, thinking he can hold his own—so a home without large dogs is ideal. As for cats, he absolutely adores them and is eager for companionship, but not all cats are on board with his enthusiasm. He would benefit from a patient, dog-savvy kitty who can help him learn their boundaries. Potty training is nearly complete; he just needs a consistent routine to finish the job. Chase is up to date on vaccinations and will be neutered before his adoption. What he truly desires is a person who appreciates having a little black-and-white shadow around, ready to curl up close or keep you company while you go about your day. If you’re in the market for a cuddly, playful companion who has a vibrant personality packed into a small frame, Chase may be the perfect match for you.
