My story

Choco was a “Found” dog back in August 2024. The person who found him was unable to keep him, so he was relinquished to a southern California rescue organization. Choco is a chiweenie, or possibly a min-pin dachshund mix. The ears and longer legs are the give-away to his heritage, but he also has distinctive dachshund features. He came to us underweight but with a healthy appetite, and has had no trouble reaching his ideal weight! Choco is happy, affectionate and playful, will ask for hugs and belly rubs. However, he also loves wrestle-mania and tug-of-war with his foster brothers and sisters, both smaller and (slightly) larger, and doesn’t seem to care who wins! He has learned how to play multi-dog chuck-it in his foster mom’s backyard … and has become quite good at grabbing a flying ball out of another’s grasp! Choco loves being the “lead engine” when he entices his brothers and sisters to join his “zoomie train!” But he is gentle, too – he does not get aggressive at all during play. Choco’s ideal household would include a like-sized energetic dog, or an active family who will not leave him alone for long periods of time. Choco walks well on a leash, and likes to ride in the car. He sleeps quietly through the night in the big bed, next to his mom! His house training is reliable if he has access to a dog door and a very secure yard. Charlie has been exposed to cats and bunnies at his foster mom’s house, but they live in separate areas. While he has shown interest without aggression, we cannot be certain about face-to-face. Choco’s vaccines are up-to-date. He’s neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in Choco, please contact Jean at 714-803-0154 or email jshill828@gmail.com. An adoption application and home check are required. The tax deductible donation for Choco is $500.00

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Choco Charlie/Courtesy Post, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
