HOW DID CHEF GET HERE?
Chef came into our care as a stray, so not much is known about his past, but what we do know is that he's a sweet, sensitive boy with so much potential, just waiting for the right home to help him grow!

PERSONALITY:
- Young, smart, and eager to learn!
- Highly motivated by treats (beef liver is a favourite!) and loves praise and attention
- Affectionate and people-oriented, he absolutely melts under gentle pets
- Curious and enjoys toys like Kongs, balls, and a good chew session
- Working on his house training!
- Resilient and recovers well from new or startling situations
- Can be underconfident and shows appeasing behaviours when unsure
- Tends to look to his people for comfort and reassurance

WHAT TYPE OF HOME IS CHEF LOOKING FOR?
- Experienced owners familiar with underconfident or reactive dogs
- A detached home (no apartments/condos) to help him feel safe and avoid close encounters with unfamiliar dogs
- A home with access to a securely fenced yard for decompression and play
- Adults or families with older, dog-savvy children (10+ with experience)
- A patient family committed to building his confidence
- A home where he can be the only dog at this time
- Have a cat? Let us know! We can test Chef to ensure he's a good fit with a feline!
