Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet.
Chop would do great in most any home. He needs a little work on basic commands and recall so should not be allowed off-leash. He is very friendly with other dogs but should not be around cats as he hyper-focuses on them and gives chase if they run.

Have not assessed with children yet, but has a very gentle, submissive temperament and has shown no signs of resource guarding or reactivity so we believe he would do fine with kids of any age.

Picked up as a stray and brought to Gwinnett County AC, but was never reclaimed. Has been in the shelter at least 4 months before we took him home to foster. Shelter staff and volunteers describe him as sweet, playful, and affectionate, but a bit a simpleton :). He's cute!

Age: 5 years

Weight: 48lbs

Temperament: Gets along with other dogs, kids but not cats

Training: Just received, he is being assessed

Vetting: neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative and on prevention
