Chase

CHASE IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION OR RESCUE! EUTHANASIA DATE: PAST DUE CONTACT: Tulare Animal Services 3817 S. K ST. Tulare, CA 93274 Nicole Thierry - [email protected] DESKLINE: 559-260-0478 PERSONALITY TRAITS: Chase has been abused and consequently is very timid yet somehow remains very loving and sweet. He is good with other dogs and and although not very playful at the moment he enjoys off leash doggy playgroups and walking around. It took shelter staff and volunteers awhile to get him to come out of his kennel and they feel he was abused to stay in his kennel so it was his safe spot. Although he hasn't been tested around other animals, shelter staff feel he may be okay with them because he is so gentle. Respectful, older children – kiddos that can understand his background and give him space when needed - are advised. Notes from the shelter: Chase has been the worst case of mental abuse I have seen at the shelter in over my year and half at the shelter. He did not want to come out of his kennel. I eventually used another dog to guide him out. Once outside he relaxes and opens up. Now I can take him out just fine, I just have to let him take a step out of the kennel before putting the lead over his head. He mainly just walks around with other dogs, not really a "play". He needs work on that. He really needs a chance. The shelter is no place for him. He is so sweet and has came so far but needs more. He just wants to be loved. He will need patience. He will flinch and cower over a water hose. He's so worth this chance. I just love him. Chase needs a family/person to show him not all humans are despicable. He is past his due date and could be euthanized any day. Please, if you can give Chase give time to decompress and a loving home, contact the Tulare Animal Services (above) and arrange a meet n' greet with Chase.
