Hi! My name is Chandler and I came to OPH on April 19th. I’m guessed to be about ten months old. I’m a mixed breed and I’m currently 47 pounds of sweetness and energy. I am super excited about everything! I love to run and run and run and play all the time. I need things to chew like tennis balls and bones so, keep them coming! I love being outside but I am also getting used to chilling in my crate when I have to be in there. Sometimes I even slow down enough to sit and snuggle. I am quickly learning about potty training, and I’m doing pretty well, as long as my humans remember to take me out often enough. I am also learning to take treats from my humans, who are teaching me to sit before taking the treat. When I walk on a leash, I do pull because I’d rather be running but I am learning that sometimes it’s ok to just walk. In my first few weeks of living with humans in my foster home, I am learning a lot and slowly getting used to following a routine. But some things still scare me, including male humans so I might be better in a home without too many of those.
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
