HERDING HE-MAN
Chrome has been in foster care after spending over a year at the shelter with no interest. Here’s what we’ve discovered about him:
- Person-Focused: Chrome is very person-focused, always seeking direction and wanting to form close bonds.
- Herding Instincts: He has a natural tendency to herd, including cars and people when running. While it can be challenging, it’s also a testament to his intelligence and can be redirected into daily enrichment activities with the right toys.
- Loves Learning: Chrome is incredibly smart—like a sponge. He knows various tricks and is eager to learn more, making him perfect for someone who enjoys active training sessions.
- Ideal Day: His perfect day includes training sessions, playing catch, and napping in between.
- Swimming: He enjoys swimming in lakes, as long as he can touch the bottom, fully submerging himself like a submarine.
- Well-Behaved: Chrome keeps his kennel clean and rides in a car perfectly. He remains calm around other dogs, cats, and chickens, even when they are reactive.
- Energy Levels: Due to his strength and energy, Chrome may be too rambunctious for small children or busy households. He needs space to perform zoomies safely without the risk of accidentally harming anyone.
Chrome is looking to be someone’s best friend—someone who will play ball, engage in training, and explore with him. He’s affectionate and might just sneak a kiss on your cheek if allowed to cuddle. At 6 years old and fully vetted, Chrome is ready for his forever home.
