A volunteer writes: Whew, talk about housetrained! Chase peed enough to raise the Hudson River by 5 inches! His former owners do tell us that he’s housetrained and that he lets you know when he needs to ‘go’. Good boy Chase! They also tell us that he knows ‘sit’, ‘give paw’, and ‘got to bed’, that he loves to play chase and tug, plays exuberantly with people, is nervous around new people and needs to warm up, and lived with kids ages 2,5,7,10. Their favorite thing about Chase is how good he is with children. Surrendered to our care due to personal problems, Chase has clearly been well taken care of, he’s sleek and elegant, his coat shining with good care. He’s very alert and aware of his surroundings, taking his time getting to know me, but once he decided I’m a friend he joined me on the bench for some kisses. So sweet! His leash manners are good, but if he thinks you haven’t wisely chosen the direction he wants to go in (like back to the shelter), he’ll stop in his tracks, looking up as if saying…’nah…let’s keep walking, I’m not ready to go back’. A little trickery works well, and Chase and I continue on our path :). He takes treats gently, and spits them out equally gently when they aren’t to his liking. Off leash in the backyard he chases a ball, pouncing and playing with it a bit. He has a lively energy, an affectionate but not clingy personality, and is ready to find a new family to love. He’ll need some time to warm up to a new family but once he does he’ll be an amazing companion. Stop by and meet our handsome boy today.
