Hi, my name is Champ because I am the goodest boy. I am 4 years old, about 50 pounds and they don’t know much about my past before I came here, except for it must have been hard on me. I know how to sit and lay down. I walk gently on a leash as long as I’m not scared of something. I am crate trained and am trusted to be in the house outside of my crate for a few hours when my foster parents leave! I’ve never chewed anything up and I know how to use a doggy door to go outside to go potty. I haven’t had an accident in the house in a long time. I love cuddles and I am the best at hanging out with you on the couch or bed, if I’m allowed to be there. I am still learning to be confident. New experiences or loud noises scare me still. I might always be a little nervous and you’ll have to be patient with me when I’m overwhelmed. When you come meet me, I will let you pet me all you want, but I might not wag my tail or show you my awesome personality right away because of how nervous I might be. Once I settle down in an environment and feel safe, my personality comes out and my tail just keeps wagging! I have met a little human and I did well. They said I was very gentle. I am good with other dogs. I will probably stick to any new dog brother or sister like glue so they can teach me the rules. I like to play, but sometimes I’m not exactly sure how to play, but it’s still a lot of fun! I like bones and I’m still learning about other dog toys. I have met a cat, it was very scary, but I didn’t want to eat it and they said I was a good boy for leaving it alone! I hope I find the perfect family soon! If you think you can offer me my furever home, please reach out to your adoption coordinator.
