Want a good mixture of sweet and goofy? Chase is the perfect combination of both! He's your typical puppy with his uncoordinated movements, gangly limbs, and the ability to fall asleep anywhere. He loves to find new toys, but he'll always end up bringing them back to your lap so he can settle in for a good cuddle.

Chase is male, 13 lbs., 3 months old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is up to date on preventatives.
Let's find Chase a home!

Happy Tail! 🐾

"The kittens are doing fantastic and have made themselves right at home. Esther's new name is Roxy and Earth is now Scout. They each have their own boy that gives them all the love they could ever ask for. Roxy has taken on the mama role to Scout. She's constantly snuggling him and cleaning him. They are spoiled beyond belief and have given us so much love and so many laughs in the short time we've had them. Thank y'all for all you do!"
I think you'll agree--this is a great picture, and an even better happy ending! Thank you for adopting, not shopping!
