Chumba needs a committed foster or adopter to secure his ride from Fort Bend Animal Services

CoPilot. Without a home commitment, he cannot make transport.

Meet Chumba

Chumba is a sweet, happy-go-lucky 2-year-old German Shepherd mix who came into the
shelter with his brother, Wumba. He is a friendly, affectionate boy who is very people-oriented
and clearly excited about the world around him.

Chumba loves attention and enjoys getting out to walk, sniff, and explore. He is easy to handle
on a leash and very well-mannered when being led, making him a pleasant walking companion.

He does show his enthusiasm by jumping up when he gets excited, so he will benefit from
continued basic manners training to help channel his happy energy. He takes treats gently and
is very responsive to people, even though he does not appear to know any formal commands
yet and is ready to learn.

Chumba is currently in foster care through the Canine Leadership Program, where youth work
with the dogs on basic training and socialization. He is doing very well in this environment and is
great with other dogs as well as the children involved in the program.

We have not yet seen Chumba around cats. His potty-training status is unknown, but he is easy
to handle, good on a leash, and overall a very sweet and cooperative dog.
