Champ

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Champ — A two year old Energetic adventure Buddy. Champ found himself at the Sierra Vista Animal Shelter, and although he was microchipped, his previous owners never responded to multiple attempts to reclaim him. AZBTR stepped in to give this handsome guy a fresh start, and he’s ready to find a home that matches his zest for life. ⚡ His Personality • High‑energy, playful, and enthusiastic about everything •  He likes people and likes to cuddle with them • Eager to bond with his people and be part of the action   What He Needs Champ is a smart boy who will thrive with structure, guidance, and consistent training. He’s the type who benefits from clear boundaries so he doesn’t take charge of the household. With the right leadership, he’ll blossom into a well‑mannered, loyal companion. However, he doesn't get along with most dogs. A meet and greet would have to happen to see if Champ would get along with your dog. He also needs an alpha human that doesn't put up with his naughtiness. Some of his other issues  are the following:   -pulls on the leash and lunges and barks at dogs going by -even though he likes people he also has been known to nip and bark at them -he resource guards his person, which means if you are a couple, he may bark at the person that he not as fond of.   His Ideal Home Champ will do best in an active home—one that enjoys walks, playtime, and keeping both his mind and body busy. He’s looking for adopters who won’t let him “run the show,” but will instead help him channel his energy in positive ways.   Are you that special alpha person(s) that Champ needs? We would enjoy hearing from you.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 19, 2026, 7:44 pm
