Chappie

Chappie - the 2-year-old, 70lb German Shepherd mix who is a sweet, engaging boy with a gentle demeanor and a curious spirit. He’s always ready to connect, whether it’s through soft eye contact, a nuzzle for affection, or playful hops when you talk to him. He greets you with a calm presence and polite interest, taking treats gently and stepping in closer for more interaction.

• Gentle & Engaging – Takes treats softly, sometimes stepping closer with a slight head tilt.
• Leash-Ready & Cooperative – Stays put while being leashed, walks into the loop easily, and starts walking next to you calmly.
• Moderate Puller Initially but Responsive – May pulls ahead at first but responds well to verbal cues and a squeaker, checking in with his human companion.
• Enjoys Exploring & Affection – Loves a good sniffari, trots with a wagging tail, and circles back for pets, pressing against the handler for more attention.
• Affectionate & Playful – Nudges under his human companion’s arm for affection, gently climbs up for extra pets, and does playful hops when spoken to in a silly voice.
• Trainable & Attentive – Knows “sit,” working on “touch” and “down,” and stays focused on his human companion during walks.

Chappie would do well in a home with appropriately matched dog companions or as a solo dog with well-matched dog friends. Chappie is the perfect mix of affectionate, playful, and attentive. He thrives on connection and is eager to learn, making him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and loving best friend.
