Chewy

CHEWY IS SPAYED FEMALE COONHOUND MIX WEIGHING 48 LBS. AND CAME INTO THE SHELTER BECAUSE SHE WAS ABANDONED BY HER OWNER. WE ARE ESTIMATING HER AGE AT AROUND 2 – 3 YEARS OLD. HARD TO BELIEVE CHEWY WAS NOT RECLAIMED BY HER OWNER BUT SORRY TO SAY THAT IS THE CASE WITH SO MANY OF THE GREAT DOGS HERE AT THE SHELTER AND CHEWY IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THEM. SHE IS THAT GOOD OF A DOG. I AM REASONABLY CERTAIN THAT SHE IS HOUSETRAINED. I’VE HAD HER ON A COUPLE OF WALKS AND SHE TOOK CARE OF HER BUSINESS AS SOON AS HER PAWS HIT THE GRASS AND A COUPLE MORE TIMES ON JUST A SHORT WALK. CLEARLY, SHE HAD BEEN HOLDING IT. JUST PLEASE BE PATIENT WHILE SHE ADJUSTS TO A NEW ENVIRONMENT. SOMEONE HAS TAUGHT HER SEVERAL BASIC COMMANDS AS WELL. SHE DOES A VERY NICE SIT, DOWN, SHAKE, STAY, AND WILL COME WHEN CALLED. SHE LOVES PLAYING AND RUNNING WITH A STUFFED TOY AND CAN ENTERTAIN HERSELF WITH ONE. CHECK OUT HER VIDEO ON PETFINDER TO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. I WOULD ALSO DESCRIBE HER ENERGY LEVEL AT MEDIUM TO HIGH. SHE HAS NOT HAD LEASH TRAINING BUT YOU WOULD BE PROVIDED A HARNESS AND LEASH FREE OF CHARGE AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION. A HARNESS WOULD HELP CONSIDERABLY ON YOUR WALKS WITH HER. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DOG(S) IN YOUR HOME, THERE WOULD BE A MEET & GREET AT THE SHELTER. CHEWY IS SUCH A GORGEOUS GIRL AND I FOUND HER TO BE LOVING, AFFECTIONATE, AND WILLING TO SIT CALMLY WITH YOU AND SPONGE UP ALL THE LOVING SHE CAN GET. PLEASE GIVE CHEWY JUST A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME AND GET HER OUT OF HER KENNEL AND THE CHANCE TO SHOW YOU WHAT I ALREADY KNOW. SHE IS A WONDERFUL DOG THAT IS GOING TO MAKE SOMEONE VERY HAPPY THEY PICKED HER. Please fill out an adoption application at www.cedar-rapids.org/animal. Once the application is approved, you will be able to meet with the cat you want to see. In order to be approved all animals in the home must be sterilized and current on a rabies vaccination. The spay/neuter surgery is included in the adoption fee of $125. * We always prefer that our animals go to indoor homes. *OWNING a pet is a lifetime commitment! Please be ready to make that commitment before you adopt a pet! *BREED DISCLOSURE: Due to the fact that most of our adoptable pets are strays, we cannot guarantee their breed. We list the pets breed as the one that best matches the physical appearance, temperament, and personality of the animal-in some cases it's purely a guess. The pet may also be listed as a mix when it’s actually a purebred.
