Puppy shaped like Chain Chomp needs a new home
My “friend” has a dog that she treats like furniture and locks her up all day. This dog has spent more of her life in a kennel than outside of it. When I ask about it, they say it’s punishment or she needs it. They say they only let her out 3x a day and the rest of her day is in a kennel. I’d argue a shelter is better than this home (they don’t wanna take her to a shelter). But I finally convinced my friend to rehome her pup.
This is an incredible dog. I just started a part time job as a dog trainer for a reputable company in my area. This dog is SUPER trainable! She’s also got that golden retriever vibe where everything and everyone is loved and she will go with the flow and roll with whatever life throws at her.
More about Iris the puppy that is essentially Chain Chomp:
- large head
- always happy
- very energetic
- very intelligent
- potty trained
- incredibly resilient, confident, and forgiving
- while they don’t take her on walks, I have. I find that after a few corrections… she’s better than my 3 year old Doberman I’ve spent thousands of dollars on in training 🙄
- her mouth makes up 90% of her
- she grew up around multiple children and a cat. She is great with people and kids. She sometimes chases the cat but it’s out of excitement and doesn’t attack the cat. Again, they don’t exercise this dog.
- she’s a little over a year old.
But… she needs rescuing. Truly. Can someone save her? They want to charge a $300 rehoming fee since she’s up to date with vaccines, spayed, and she comes with supplies like that damn kennel.
I know they’d be willing to negotiate because they don’t want her. And I don’t feel comfortable giving her away to just anyone. But if anyone out there wants a beautiful, smart, trainable puppy, please let me know. I’d even offer some free training sessions, but I don’t think it’s needed. She’s really easy to train.
I don’t have social media. And if I did, I wouldn’t feel comfortable being this honest (“friend” doesn’t have Reddit). So I’m asking here. I’ll take suggestions for what to do. This amazing dog deserves a loving home.
