Featured Pet: Chickos

Chickos was surrendered into our care when his former owners made the decision that they couldn't provide him with the time and attention he needs. From a very young age, poor Chickos was confined in a crate for approximately 9 hours a day. Worse still, when friends or relatives would visit on weekends or evenings it was back into the crate for Chickos. How frustrating that must have been for this friendly and social dog.

Understandably, when he first arrived at the shelter he had tons of pent up energy but no ability to channel it. He was kind of like a kid in a candy store. It took some time, but with structure, boundaries and a consistent routine, Chickos is beginning to settle down and he is now ready to find a loving forever home. He is still active so to ensure he doesn't become overly anxious, he needs an experienced adopter who will give him the exercise and mental stimulation he

needs. Chickos will do best in a home where he is not left alone for long periods on a regular basis. He is obviously used to a crate, but it's just not fair for any dog to be crated for long periods of time.

Chickos lived with kids, the youngest of whom was 10, a small dog and even a cat but he was a little too much for the cat. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to run and chase his ball, and we are working with him about giving the ball back. A home with a fenced in backyard where he can play is a real bonus.

Chickos is 2 years old and we believe that he is a mix of Golden Retriever and Terrier.
