2504-0037 Choppa

My story

CHOPPA - 6 years old, 63+ pounds, good with kids and dogs but must be given time to get used to them CHOPPA is a nervous boy in the shelter. Having landed behind bars when his family, the only one he's ever known, lost their home. It is taking him a while for him to settle into shelter life. He will likely need time to warm up to a new family as well.  Time, patience.  Big and handsome with his thick deep brown fur, Choppa is a loving boy who enjoys the company of other dogs when he knows and trusts them. He is currently in our shelter playgroup with a dainty and gentle group of dogs who don't push him too much.  He will correct them with a nice growl and show of his teeth though. Choppa is nervous around cats and will chase them, so a home without cats is required. Time, patience. When Choppa does get used to you, he is a loving and a great companion. He enjoys sleeping on furniture and in his owner's bed, as well as a dog bed. He will let you know when he's hungry by hitting the food bag and he will go to the door when he wants to go outside. Smart boy! He loves going for walks and has enjoyed a couple walks daily. Choppa is said to get grumpy over his food so supervision and careful management will be a good thing to remember. Choppa is a dog who will need patience and understanding as he settles in a new home. He will need understanding as he gets used to a new routine. There is no need to rush these. Take your time. Allow him to gain trust in you.  Choppa is currently in our medium adoption dog kennel so come on in to meet him!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 30, 2025, 3:25 pm
