Chessa - Dutch Shepherd / Mixed Dog For Adoption

View more

foster home waiting for the right family to come along! Chessa is moderately active - she takes cues from her humans, so if they want to play, so does she! But when it's time to relax, Chessa loves nothing more than snoozing next to her people. Her favorite toys are indestructible ones - she has THREE Kong Wubbas that she plays with every single day! She loves a challenge and learns new games/activities very quickly. She gets along with most dogs that are her size or larger, but likely would not do well with cats as she likes to chase anything that is significantly smaller than she is. Chessa is an affectionate pup who wants to be close to her people at all times and is also good with kids. She will be your best friend once she knows you! She even will stay in bed with her people until they get up. Her foster mom says Chessa will devote her life to showing her family how much she loves them. An ideal home for her is one where her new family will have patience as she gets to know them. Once you've earned her trust, you have a friend for life. She would also benefit from a yard to explore as she gets used to her new surroundings. Daily walks or excursions (she enjoys the car) would be great, too! Chessa is athletic and has bursts of energy where she loves to run through the backyard at top speed to show you how fast she can go, but after about 15 minutes of that, she is ready to go in for another nap. LOL! Chessa is very, very smart. Not only is she leash, house and crate trained, she also knows a range of commands AND is very attuned to her humans' emotions. Chessa knows when something has upset her people, and she stays with them and comforts them until they feel better. When her humans are not around, Chessa likes to be in her crate with a few of her toys to keep her company. She's such a sweet, precious girl! Chessa is deserving of the perfect furever home.
