A4785466 Chewbaca is a contemplative 2-year-old red male Tibetan Spaniel mix who was left at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on December 19th by his owner, who claimed Chewbaca was “aggressive with other animals.” Weighing 13 lbs, this soft-haired little guy is, like so many dogs, frightened in the shelter. However, he warmed up to our volunteer once he was out of his kennel and understood she was trustworthy. Chewbaca shows signs of being housebroken and walks okay on leash, but he could use further training to make him a better walking companion and to build his confidence. He likes treats, which should make him easy to train. We saw no signs of aggression with other animals and have no way of knowing what the situation with the previous owner was. We could see that Chewbaca is frightened in the shelter, which makes us feel that he’ll need to be an indoor pet and companion for an individual or family who understands him and has the patience to make him feel secure so that he can blossom into a confident boy. Chewbaca will be a wonderful and loyal best friend to a patient, loving person or family.
