Meet Chunk a/k/a

Chunk came to ABR after being a loved part of a family who then, as he got older, made a ‘shop’ dog by that same family.  His life became so sad.  He lived in this “shop” where he had little attention during the day and left alone overnight and on weekends.  He was rescued by an employee who knew it wasn’t right and contacted ABR.  Chunk has only been here a short while, but he settled right in! He will definitely benefit from a routine so he knows he’s not being left alone to fend for himself for long periods of time. He’s very much a relax and chill kind of guy!  Chunk enjoys morning walks and will stop to take it all in. He absolutely loves to chill in the backyard and we want him to have a fenced yard in his forever home so he can continue to safely enjoy his time outside.  During the day, while he does ok when left on his own, but seems to prefer being with the humans as much as possible. He is very sweet and can be sassy with bursts of energy for some playtime! He very much has that bulldog stubbornness! Chubs does very well when alone for short periods of time.  At bed time, he is happy to go to his “spot” for the evening.  He has not been crated so we are not sure how he would be if crated.  He does so well anyway that it hasn’t been an issue.
