About Chicory

Chicory is a 39 lb. neutered male, about 2 years old, and is just starting to navigate his world with a bit of uncertainty. When first outside, he briefly explored the yard but quickly came to me when I called, clearly seeking comfort. Once indoors, his sweet personality began to shine. He trotted over and nestled between my legs for some affection, enjoying each moment of closeness, even offering a few kisses by the end of our time together. He walks well on a leash, exhibiting little to no pulling, and is treat motivated, knowing how to sit and accepting treats gently. While he wasn't interested in toys today, Chicory just needs some patience and reassurance to feel more at home. He seems nonreactive around other dogs and may adapt well to having a fur sibling with the right introductions. His journey in the shelter environment has likely been stressful, so he will flourish with time and a supportive touch.
