A4846597 Chops is a unique-looking 4-year-old black-and-brown male Pug and Dachshund mix (with splashes of a few other breeds likely mixed in as well) whose owners left him at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center without giving a reason on June 22nd. Weighing 29 lbs, Chops is a wonderful medium size and has a truly special coat and look all his own. We found that he walks great on leash, gets along with and likes other dogs, and thinks people are fine to hang with. Chops is pretty overwhelmed at finding himself in the family-less shelter, and he shows this by being wary at first and initially hiding in his kennel, though he warms up to new friends with just a little time. His previous owner said he was good with small kids and house trained; his handler at the Glamour Shoot found that he grew to feel extra-safe with her while outside—so much so, in fact, that once she returned him to his kennel, he climbed into her lap and wanted to stay there. We think Chops is the perfect indoor pet and companion for any person or family who wants to see him blossom once he’s out of the shelter and into a loving home where he can feel safe and confident once again.
