Meet Chia! This sweet, playful puppy is full of personality and always ready to make you smile. Curious, funny, and eager to learn, Chia loves exploring the world around her and is happiest when she's with her people. She's a big fan of snuggling after playtime and has a wonderfully affectionate, clingy nature that makes her a loyal little companion. Like any growing puppy, she enjoys playing with her toys, working on a kong, and will happily do just about anything for a tasty treat. Chia is incredibly food motivated, making training lots of fun, and she's already learned sit, paw, and how to patiently wait for her meals.

Chia is a friendly, social puppy who enjoys meeting new people and happily greets guests with excitement. She currently lives with cats and does very well with them, and given her young age, she would likely adapt well to a home with other dogs or children too. Chia loves being part of whatever is happening and prefers to be in the same room as her family, making sure she doesn't miss out on any of the fun. She's making great progress with house training and sleeps soundly through the night without fuss. She's also been left home alone for several hours, where she settles nicely and spends much of the time snoozing.

Like any puppy, Chia is still learning about the world and will benefit from continued guidance as she grows. She's working on her leash skills and can become excited when she spots small animals on walks, often pulling to investigate, though she isn't much of a barker. With her eager-to-please attitude, intelligence, and love of food, she's sure to continue making excellent progress with positive, reward-based training. If you're looking for a happy, affectionate puppy who loves to learn, cuddle, and be part of every family adventure, Chia may be the perfect addition to your home!
