Plenty of Pets
Chuck is a two-year-old boxer-husky mix.
He weighs 48 pounds and is neutered and vaccinated, as well as crate trained.
He’s very friendly and affectionate but does sometimes jump up when excited, so he needs a home where there are no small children.
He gets along with other dogs at daycare but prefers to be the only pet in his home. He likes to chase birds and squirrels, so he might also try chasing a cat.
He loves to snuggle but also needs to get out and exercise.
For more information on Chuck, or the other dogs waiting for homes, visit Good Bones Dog Rescue’s website or Facebook page or email [email protected]
