Check Me out !

Chestnut is a sweet girl who has overcome many obstacles at a young age. She found herself in a high kill shelter in Downey. Shortly after arriving it was learned that she was pregnant and gave birth to 7 puppies. She was placed on the euthanasia list due to her fearfulness and inability to allow shelter staff near her. ASR intervened and saved this little family. Chestnut immediately bonded with her 17 year old human foster sibling. She learned to enjoy her daily walks and brief social outings to the parks where she has enjoyed leashed interactions with other pups. She has supervised interactions with the small dogs and cats in her foster home and as long as they don't run she doesn't chase. She will give a low bark when meeting new people but once they present her with a treat she allows some head scratches with no complaints. She has many traits of her beautiful breed including intelligence, loyalty, and friendliness. She needs a little time to warm up to new people but once she has a few head scratches she’s happy.  Chestnut is a very smart, athletic dog that would do great on agility courses. She still plays like a puppy and loves learning new things. Once she knows and trusts you she is very sweet, obedient and eager to please.  Who wouldn’t be captivated by her beautiful eyes!!

Her $495 adoption fee covers vaccines, microchip and spay.
