History: Chewie FKA Burger Queen was born in rescue back in 2018 along with her 3 littermates to a beautiful brindle medium size momma dog. She was recently returned to rescue at 7 years old due to no longer being a match for her home and the other dog in the home. Chewie is doing well settling back into rescue and hopes to find her forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Chewie is a housetrained and people friendly shepherd mix. She is 7 years old and enjoys snuggles and walks. She is great on a leash. She enjoys following her people around the house and just wants to be close to you. She likes her outside time and walks, but would also be happy to lay on the couch all day. She will announce when someone is at your house but is otherwise quiet. She knows commands like sit, wait, down, paw, kennel, and her recall is very good! 

We are working on kennel training, as she is very anxious about it. Once in the kennel she may try to find a way out so it would be best for her to have a Ruff land type kennel to ensure her safety. 

She will also need to be in a cat and dog free home due to her high prey drive. She is respectful of other animals while on leash, however unpredictable when not leashed.

Adoption Fee: $510 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
