Adopt a Golden Retriever / Mixed (long coat)

Chewbacca (Chewy) - Male – 13-years-old – GRRALL #0648

Update:  Jan 2 2018:  Chewy should be done with his heartworm treatment by the end of February. He needs to have other dogs in his adoptive home so he can follow their lead, he’s not real friendly with them, he just needs them for guidance and comfort. Chewy does get confused once in a while and has an accident inside so he would do best with someone who is home most of the time to give him frequent potty breaks. He was definitely challenged by the weather we had last weekend his foster mom’s deck became very slippery and he needed help because he was afraid of falling. Despite his few age related issues he is an absolute love. Every night when his foster mom gets in bed he gets as close to her on the floor as he can so she has to be really careful when she get up not to step on him! Chewy is her little shadow

Update 11/30/2017:  

Chewy has been in his foster home for about 3 weeks. His foster mom reports he is a different dog than the one she picked up because he's wagging his tail and "hunting" in the backyard. Chewy is about 75% deaf, he has vision problems, and has few teeth but he's eating his soft watered down food anxiously. He has learned a lot just by imitating the dogs in his foster home. He follows his foster mom around and is her latest shadow. His foster mom says he is a sweetheart who is one of those rescues that truly thrived after good food, hugs and love.

Meet Chewbacca!  This 13-year-old handsome guy is only 34 pounds and an absolute doll.  He is heartworm positive, probably the reason he was discarded at a shelter.  Chewy is kind, well-mannered and easygoing; a confident and comfortable boy. Chewy is great on a leash and loves to go for walks.  We need a foster home for Chewy, a kind soul with a big heart to help him through heartworm treatment and ideally then adopt to help minimize the stops on the journey to his permanent home.
