Chepo

My story

Meet Chepo: A Sweet Senior Gentleman Looking for a Forever Home! 7yr old, 93lb Chepo was surrendered to the shelter in May because his family was moving out of the country and unable to bring him. He was panicked and anxious to find himself in this new and stressful environment. Though anxious, volunteers immediately found him to be quite friendly and after just a few outings, Chepo preferred to be near his handlers and other people. With other dogs in the yard he was described as being gentle and dainty, social, and mingling and chilling with other dogs. Our team at Dog Coalition fell in love with him and thanks to a dedicated foster, we were able to spring him out in June. In his foster home, Chepo is described as being very sweet and affectionate, coming up for pets from his foster mom. He is independent and will keep himself occupied with a chew toy, but prefers to stay close to people while doing so. Chepo is responsive to his name and comes when called, and will also move out of the way when asked. He is generally very attentive and is learning crate training and leash training, even as an older fella. We get the sense that he used to live in a yard, so we’re very proud of this guy’s progress learning to be a wonderful inside dog as well! We believe Chepo would be a great solo companion or fit in nicely to a home with other well-balanced dogs. What You Should Know About Chepo: - A soulful big old boy with a great heart, looking for his perfect forever home. - Gentle and sweet, needs balance and a calm place to continue to decompress and get used to a different kind of life. - Would be a wonderful companion to someone looking for a chill older dog to hang out around the house with. Chepo would love a couple of calm short walks a day and maybe the occasional outing.
