Meet Smart Chino

Chino is a very friendly and lively puppy. He is a little goofy but a smart puppy. Chino likes to make friends with people and dogs. Chino and his siblings were abandoned at a crowded public shelter, jammed in a kennel when they were only 8 weeks young. Due to there were too many dogs fighting for limited food, poor Chino and his siblings had no chance to get closer to the bowl. They were starving from time to time. One late night, a nurse just got off shift; she got on Facebook and spotted an SOS post of Chino and his siblings. The image of the poor little, skinny puppies made her very sad. Without any rescue experience, she started to call everyone she knew to find a way to help these puppies. Unfortunately, most of rescuers got full hand of dogs. Instead giving up, the nurse went to the shelter, claimed the full litter of puppies out. Not surprised, all these pups had been starved for too long that must take quite much medical and nutritious care to help them became healthy. When AHAN got a call from a rescuer to help these puppies, we actually were quite impressed of the bravery of the angel nurse. She isn’t rich, but insisted to take all the pups to the best animal hospital for the best medical care. Under Vet’s intensive care, all pups survived and gradually gained the weight back. And now they all grow up happily with a clean bill of health.

Chino is a very sweet and affectionate pup. He likes to play sumo and tug a war with dogs and enjoys toys as well. He is confident, cuddly and housebroken. When Chino meets people, he will come to say Hello for nice pets. Chino is very smart. He learned commends quickly. He will sit and wait for treats. Chino is also a neat puppy. He will only do potty outside or on a potty pad inside the house. Like the other siblings, Chino was born with moderate nature with a little goofy character. Watching him play with Sally always make us laugh. Chino will probably grow up to 50lbs in adulthood. By giving him some puppy training, he surely will be a great home dog for snuggles. If you’d like to add a sweet furry family member in coming new year, chino is here waiting for the destined family to take him home.
