Description

Chase has been at the shelter way too long and is starting to show signs of kennel stress. He desperately needs a forever or foster home. I brought Chase home a couple of days and this is what I observed while he was here: * After a couple of hours he was much much calmer. Out of the shelter environment he is a different dog. * Loved playing with the other large dogs and even tolerated the pushy dog. * Loved running in the yard * Has a convincing warning bark when strangers pull in the driveway * Was able to sleep loose in the house without a problem * No accidents - used the doggy door * Very affectionate and loved attention * Will sit and shake for a treat * he did not want to get into the car but once in the car he rode perfectly fine. * Slow to warm up to strangers This loving and loyal boy would love a home with a large yard and another big dog to play with. NO CATS. He would probably do best in a home where there are not a lot of people in and out. His adoption fee is sponsored. He is neutered and microchipped. Can you help this boy? If you cannot adopt or foster consider being a volunteer and take him for long walks. You can call or go to the Joplin Humane for more information.
