About Chives
Chives is a gentle, people‑loving sweetheart who wants nothing more than to be close to his humans. He’s the kind of dog who follows you from room to room with soft eyes and a wagging tail, always hoping for a pat or a kind word. His affectionate nature makes him an instant favourite with anyone who meets him, and he settles beautifully once he knows he’s safe and loved.
He’s also a social boy with other dogs, happy to potter around with canine friends and enjoy their company. While he’s not particularly motivated by food or toys, he thrives on companionship and routine. He’s still working on his toilet training, so he’ll need a patient adopter who can guide him with consistency and encouragement as he continues to learn.
Chives is a classic velcro dog—loyal, cuddly, and happiest when he’s right by your side. Because he can be sensitive and easily overwhelmed, he’s best suited to a home with kids aged 15 and up who can respect his space and help him feel secure. He blossoms in calm, predictable environments where he can build confidence at his own pace.
If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will adore you endlessly and stick close through every moment of the day, Chives might be your perfect match. With a bit of guidance and a lot of love, he’ll grow into the most loyal, gentle friend you could hope for.
