A volunteer writes: OMDog, I’m in love! This gorgeous dog wears a lush gold coat, his ears have silver threads, one eye has a sliver of blue in it and his weight is perfect for his size. His leash manners are excellent, he’s likely housetrained, he’s friendly to all, and seems to like other dogs. I haven’t discovered anything that I’m not crazy about in Mr. Chuckles. He has an amazing smile, an ever wagging tail, sits when asked to, and takes treats gently. Affectionate with a lovely energy he made me smile with joy in his company, and after a long day that’s not easy. He made me laugh when after a number of treats he actually burped, and then looked nonplussed at his action. Too cute! Chuckles poses for photos like he’s done it a million times before, and although he can be a little jumpy in his affection responds to a firm off/sit. He still has a puppy waddle when he walks, his rump swinging from side to side and it’s just a delight to watch. An absolute delight, Chuckles is looking for a new person or family to love…..loving him back will be so easy. Ask to meet him today. Another volunteer writes: : This guy is the cutest. He has some light colored spots on the back of his nice soft coat. So good and behaved walking out of his cage and waiting for the elevator. Did all his business outside like a good boy looking up at me with his beautiful eyes, one being blue. When we walked passed a couple of barking fearful dogs, he just skipped along next to me, as if to say, Geez what’s their problem. Just an adorable guy all around!
