This handsome boy is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart and never gives it back. He has a calm, low-key personality and rarely barks. With his medium energy level and easygoing nature, he will be a good fit for most families.A true people-dog, Chowder loves affection. Gentle pets, hugs, and nose kisses are his favorites, and if he feels he’s due for some attention, he’ll sweetly rest his head on your leg or rub up against you to say hello. He bonds closely with his humans and enjoys following them from room to room, always happy just to be nearby. Chowder does well with children and is friendly and respectful with other dogs. He loves to play but understands boundaries if another dog isn’t interested. Loud crowds can make him a little unsure at first, but with gentle approaches, his curious and affectionate nature shines through. He has not had much interaction with cats, but would likely do best without a cat in the home. He enjoys car rides and chilling with his people.On leash, Chowder walks well and enjoys his daily strolls. He’s learning to walk at heel and knows how to sit, responding best to kind, calm voices. He may get a bit excited when he sees other dogs or squirrels, but he’s made great progress and mostly just watches quietly now. He is house trained and sleeps in his crate at night, happily settling in with just a little encouragement. During the day, he’s a perfect mix of relaxed companion and playful friend; equally content going for walks, playing with other dogs, or curling up next to you for a nap.If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, and loyal companion, Chowder might just be your perfect match! Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.
