Hi, I’m Lil Guy—a sweet, playful pup with a big heart and even bigger dreams of finding my forever family! I found myself on death row in a regional pound; shutdown and scared. Luckily Off The Chain K9 Rescue saved me just in the nick of time and I haven't looked back.
Temperament
I’m a loyal and sweet pup who adores spending time with my people. My favorite place to sleep? On my human foster sibling's bed—it’s the best spot in the house! I thrive on love and attention, and my playful personality shines when I’m with my foster family. I’m not too fond of birds, but I get along great with dogs and cats. I currently live with children who I love to play with and also am a big fan of water; combine the two and it's the best day ever!
Health and Training
I’ve been working on my training and know some basic commands like "sit," "lay," and "stop." I’m even learning to shake—how clever is that? My foster family has these treat-dispensing balls, and I can’t get enough of them! I’m crate-trained and can stay home for a few hours (up to six) without any issues. Car rides aren’t really my thing, though; I drool a lot during trips, but with some patience, I might get better.
Personality
I’m a happy-go-lucky pup who loves to play and interact with my family. I enjoy daily activities and make the most out of my time with my humans. While I can be a little shy in new situations, my eagerness to please and affectionate nature make me a wonderful companion. I was clearly a victim of past abuse and can sometimes be very afraid of taller men wearing hats, sunglasses, boots, and hi-vis gear. My foster carer had a friendly visitor who fit this description, and I got so scared that I managed to escape the 6ft yard. But with patience and understanding, I know I can learn to trust and feel safe. I recently spent a weekend with other fosters who had shorter fences, and I was totally fine there.
Ideal Home
I’d thrive in a home with a secure 6ft fence to keep me safe during outdoor adventures. A family with other dogs, cats or children would be ideal, as I love having company. I’m looking for a family who can continue my training, provide me with daily mental and physical stimulation, and give me lots of love and patience.
If you’re searching for a loyal, playful pup to join your family, I could be your perfect match. Apply to adopt me today—I can’t wait to meet you! 🐾

DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OTCadoptionapp
If you apply to adopt but require us to hold the pet more than 3 days before meeting, we will ask you for a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters. This holding deposit will be subtracted from the adoption fee should you adopt the animal on hold for you.
Ready to roll? Then fill out the application form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox. (www.facebook.com/offthechaink9)

NEED TRANSPORT?
1. Apply to adopt per the above process.
2. Get quotes and select your desired transporter. We recommend Aeropets, Jetpets, and Dogtainers. Contact us for weights, height etc where needed. We also recommend Pet Waggin pet transport who can assist with road transport.
3. Message or email us to say you have applied and that you will require transport. Tell us which company and a potential departure date from that pet's nearest airport or meet point.
4. If your application is successful, we will lock in a date with you, coordinate any required 'fit to fly' certifications, a food delivery to your home, and appropriate training to make your new pet as comfortable on transport as possible.
5. All adoption contracts, adoption fees, and photo ID must be submitted to us via email before animal boards transport.
We will take into consideration the pet's ability to travel safely and comfortably before agreeing to send them on transport, and expect a high level of care from whatever company is engaged to move the animal.
