Chido - American Bulldog Dog Available for Adoption in Kempner, Texas

Charming Chido

From the streets outside of Houston to a snuggly bed inside your home. This boy has come a long way. Despite his horrific past, chido continues to put faith into people and other animals to do right by him. His love for cats alone speaks volumes about his gentle nature. He makes friends very easily, with animals and people alike.

Chido loves to spend most days with a short walk, playing with toys and sleeping. Chido sleeps a lot! He is gentle with children, cats and most dogs. Chido is dog selective. However, to be fair, as long as other dogs aren’t trying to make him submit or jumping all over him, they will get along just fine.

Noise like thunder and lightening along with fireworks do frighten this sweet boy. He will need comforting during these times. As long as he knows you’re by his side, he quickly calms down.

Chido deserves a patient household. Someone that either works from home or is retired to chill with. He suffers from separation anxiety. So, having a relaxed companion to hang with would be ideal for sweet charming Chido.

Chido is an inside the home companion NOT an outside dog. He deserves every bit of love we have to give and more.

Chido is nearly 4 years old and weighs a healthy 63 lbs. American Bulldog and possible boxer mix

Walks well on leash. Knows basic commands. Potty trained.

Heart worm positive-is on slow kill meds (hartguard) this is one monthly pill which is low cost. Chido should be tested annually to monitor the heart worms

Chido does suffer from occasional hip arthritis which makes it hard for him initially to get around. This hasn’t happened in recent months and has only occurred twice since he’s been in my foster care. However, when it does occur, I give him a quick hip massage and encourage him to rest.
I believe it all stems from an old injury. His X-rays only showed signs of inflammation nothing broken or previously broken.

Aside from the heart worm diagnosis, chido is a healthy and loving companion
