Other Dogs: Dog selective but there are some at the shelter that he loves to play with

Walking: Walks well on the leash

Notes: Chauncey is a little gentleman. He does very well on the leash, he does not tend to be messy in his kennel, and he has a very calm energy. He would be a great companion for a slower paced lifestyle. He likes leisurely strolls, attention, and naps. He is very timid when meeting new people so patience is key. Although he looks like a big boy, he is short and only weighs 30 pounds. Chauncey is neutered, vaccinated and his adoption fee has been sponsored. He would do best in a home with older kids due to his shyness.

He has done well with the shelter dogs that we have put him in playgroups with. A meet and greet would be needed to make sure the two dogs will be friends.

Chauncey loves to run in the play yard and he loves soft treats. Loud noises and sudden movements frighten him. He would do best in a home that has older children rather than small children because of that. He takes a moment to warm up and begin to trust but once he does, he loves being in your lap and giving kisses.

He does great with house training with routine. He is dog selective but there are some at the shelter that he loves to play with.

Most of our dogs are strays, therefore we can only guess whether they are good with other animals or children by observing the behavior of the animal in the kennel and their interaction with the shelter staff.
