Chappy

Update 9.7.2024:

Chappy is also still with us. He is a senior and he is black. Will he have to stay his whole life in a shelter?

Update 17.1.2023:

Chappy is still happy.

He has become very good with people. He needs a bit of time to warm up men he doesn´t know, Probably because of his past, but also because we don´t have many men at the shelter.

He´s just a happy senior enjoying all kind of attention he can get.

He loves cuddles and his squeaky toys, but never destroys them.

He´s very clean, he never does his business inside his pen.

He´s good with other dogs, but being a senior himself he´d prefer a more quiet home without any boisterous youngsters.

Much likely not good with cats. Yeah, not good with cats… His age. 12? Well, 10+

 

Update 31.12.2020

Chappy was chained to a tree his whole life.
Chappy is already a senior and though he doesn’t act like one, he seems to understand that there’s no time for him to pity himself or to be angry all day.
Chappy is nothing like he was when he found his way to the shelter in July. He’s happy now.
He might be a senior, but there’s still enough time left for him to experience what it’s like to go for a walk, to sleep in a warm home, to have a family that cares about him or to fall asleep on the couch next to his favorite human.
There’s still enough time for all this, if there’s someone out there willing to give him a chance.
Not Chappy, but HAPPY!

Update 23.11.2020:

It turns out that he’s actually a very sweet and cuddly fellow as soon as he trust someone ?

 

His story:

Put yourself in our shoes.

Someone drives up outside of the shelter.

They tell you that they are going back to their country and can’t take their 10+ year old dog with them and they don’t want to abandon it.The dog has never been vaccinated, has never been castrated, has never been treated for parasites and it bites.

Do you take it?
