    This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, October 26th from 12pm-4pm and  Sunday, October 27th from 11am-3pm or until adopted. We do approve folks ahead of time and give them the first opportunity to meet before the public. If you are interested in one of our dogs, we recommend filling out an application prior to the event to be considered.

    Chonk is a 9 year old Shih Tzu. He has a non-shedding coat that is an option for those who have allergies or simply want a dog who doesn't shed. He will require regular grooming. He came in and someone had kept him groomed nicely which is a bit surprising since he was not claimed at the shelter. He was found walking along the street, not a care in the world and Animal Control picked him up. Of course knowing our boy who weighs a whopping 16lbs he was most likely on the hunt for food. It's a great motivator for him. Someone has fed him a bit too well. He is now eating less, much to his chagrin, at his foster home.

    Chonk is such a nice boy. He is really this enjoyable, fun loving, spirited boy. Yes he waddles but he waddles quickly! He runs to greet you. He is happiest when his people are home and he can cuddle with them. He's so excited when they get home. He is crate trained. We will not tell you he likes it. He has resigned himself to accept it in his foster home but the sun rises and sets on him being able to be with his people. He is a couch potato, couch crowder, Netflix binge watching, cuddler, stealer of the covers kinda guy. Get ready to share your couch, your chair or he'd love your bed with him. He loves people. He could go anywhere and any place with you. Oh how he'd love to ride in one of those strollers. He could be the Mayor of any town.

    Chonk gets along great with other dogs. Even when it comes to food he isn't aggressive. He can eat out of the same bowl with them and he takes nicely from your hand. Chonk lives with other dogs. He hangs out with them. He's not so much a dog who plays with other dogs. He hangs out, like any good Shih Tzu. They just hang. He's a dog who could easily go to the work with Mom or Dad. Oh how he'd love to just hang out with his people, while they're brokering big business deals, creating the next Tech giant or meeting and greeting clients as they come in. He'd be a hit!

    Chonk is an option for just about any kind of home. If there are kids they need to be over the age of 6.
