Chappy - Poodle and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Homewood, Illinois

Hi! I'm Chappy. My old name was Ben before my temporary Mom noticed my built in chaps. Now I'm a real cowboy.

I love playing with toys, especially my highland cow and multiple cactus toys. I'm very good with other dogs, kids and cats.

My temp Mom brought be to work with her the other day. They all said I was so cute but on the little side for all those big men. I probably will only be about 30 lbs. My birth mother is a Doodle type dog, and it's best to not ask about my traveling dad. We don't know anything about him.

I'd really like to find my new family soon. I really am a good boy. I'm good in my crate at night and since I'm only about 11 weeks, I still take nice naps during the day. My temp mom says she'd keep me, but I'd be #4.

I'd really like to meet my future Furever family soon. I'm growing up really fast and I'd like to grow up with you!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Poodle is a highly intelligent and elegant dog breed known for its distinctive curly coat and graceful appearance. Originally bred as water retrievers, Poodles come in three size varieties Standard, Miniature, and Toy each with their unique characteristics but sharing the breed's alert and friendly nature. Renowned for their hypoallergenic qualities and keen sense of humor, Poodles excel in various dog sports and activities, making them versatile companions suitable for different lifestyles and living situations.
