🐾 CHEWY IS READY FOR HIS PERSON 🐾
Chewy is a handsome, healthy three-year-old with the cutest face and a beautiful coat. He is fully vaccinated, house trained, crate trained and has completed a full year of professional training.
❤️ Chewy’s best qualities:
✅ Loyal and deeply devoted
✅ Intelligent and eager to learn
✅ Obedient and responsive to his handler
✅ Affectionate and an incredible cuddler
✅ Playful—he loves fetch and tug-of-war
✅ House trained and crate trained
✅ Walks beautifully at heel
✅ Rides well in the car
✅ Protective of his people, home and yard
✅ Gets along with many dogs after a proper introduction
✅ Calm and well-behaved in the home
✅ Loves relaxing beside you or watching Netflix on the couch
✅ Wants to sleep safely inside with his family at night
🦮 Chewy knows many commands, including:
✅ Sit
✅ Down
✅ Stay
✅ Come
✅ Heel
✅ Leave it
✅ Off
✅ Chill
✅ Load up
Chewy needs slow, patient introductions to new people. Once he understands that someone is safe and welcome, he settles in and is wonderful in the home. He bonds deeply with the people he trusts and becomes an incredibly loving and protective companion.
On walks, Chewy is calm about 95% of the time. He can react when startled by loud trucks or skateboarders, or when he spots squirrels and lizards—he especially loves going “lizard hunting!” However, he responds quickly to a confident handler, and I can redirect him within seconds.
Chewy has lived and trained around multiple dogs and enjoys playing with many dogs when properly introduced. He may enjoy having a compatible dog as a companion. Because he has a high prey drive, he needs an adult-only home without cats, children or small animals. If squirrels are taking over your property, however, Chewy would happily volunteer for squirrel-control duty! 😂
🏡 Chewy’s ideal home:
✅ An experienced, confident dog owner
✅ A calm, structured, adult-only household
✅ No children, cats or small animals
✅ Someone committed to continuing his training
✅ A quieter home without people constantly coming and going
✅ A secure yard or spacious property where he can explore and play
✅ Someone who wants a devoted indoor companion—not an outside-only dog
Chewy would be especially happy on a ranch, estate or larger property where he can safely explore, play ball and enjoy a peaceful life.
He is not the right dog for every household, but for the right person, he could be the dog of a lifetime—deeply devoted, loving and always ready to make you feel safe.
We would prefer an adopter in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Hope Ranch or the Santa Ynez Valley so John and I can support Chewy and his adopter throughout the first year. We are committed to making this a successful, lifelong match.
