Chonk is a beautiful little Miniature Poodle who absolutely loves people and is happiest wherever her humans are.
She is a true companion dog — affectionate, cheerful and very keen on a lap, a spot beside you on the couch or simply being right by your side. She is toilet trained, has good recall and is, unsurprisingly, very enthusiastic about dinner and treats.
Chonk also loves other dogs. She has always lived with canine companions and would probably prefer a home with another friendly dog she can romp and play with.
Her recent visit to the grooming salon was apparently the best day ever. Chonk revelled in all the attention and managed to make everyone there fall a little bit in love with her.
Chonk in a nutshell:
✓ House-trained
✓ Good recall
✓ Loves people
✓ Loves other dogs
✓ Affectionate and people-oriented
✓ Happy, playful and engaging
✓ Very fond of food and treats
✓ Untested with cats and little children
As a Poodle, Chonk will need regular professional grooming throughout her life, together with normal coat care at home.
She is looking for a home where she will be a genuine member of the family — inside, involved and close to her people, ideally with a canine friend to share the fun.

Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Heartworm Information
We don't know if Chonk has been treated with heartworm protection in the past. However, heartworm disease is uncommon in the Southern Downs, so ARK does not routinely heartworm test or administer heartworm prevention to dogs in our care. Should a successful applicant wish to have a heartworm test performed before adoption, we are happy to arrange this.
