Chanito's Story

Meet Chanito – Your Loyal Little Shadow 🖤<br/>Name: Chanito<br/>Age: 6.5 years<br/>Weight: 40 lbs<br/>Color: Black<br/>Energy Level: Medium<br/>Barking: Only at other dogs<br/>Other Dogs: Prefers to be the only dog<br/>Cats: OK<br/>Kids: OK with initial monitoring<br/>________________________________________<br/>About Chanito<br/>Chanito is a very sweet, loving, and sensitive boy who forms a deep bond with his person. Once he feels safe, he becomes incredibly attentive and affectionate, always happiest when he’s near you. He truly enjoys being pet and will happily settle beside you for a quiet evening once he’s comfortable.<br/>In the home, Chanito is calm and well-mannered. He doesn’t bark unnecessarily and is respectful of boundaries. While he may occasionally test whether the couch is fair game, he quickly learns the house rules and sticks to them. Currently, he’s perfectly content relaxing on his designated futon.<br/>He sleeps peacefully through the night on his dog bed or pillow (he’s used to having one near his person’s bed) and settles beautifully indoors.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Training & Personality<br/>Chanito is food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training a breeze. He:<br/>• Sits politely for food<br/>• Responds well to “no”<br/>• Learns quickly with treats and positive reinforcement<br/>He thrives with structure and consistency, and his gentle, sensitive nature means he responds best to kind guidance.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Activity & Exercise<br/>Chanito has a medium energy level and enjoys his daily walks—especially keeping an eye out for squirrels! He is not high-strung and doesn’t require excessive exercise.<br/>If there is no yard:<br/>• 2–3 walks per day (20–45 minutes each)<br/>If there is a yard:<br/>• One good daily walk is sufficient<br/>• At least one longer walk for mental stimulation<br/>He’s happy with moderate activity and doesn’t usually want to walk longer than about 45 minutes. Afterward, he loves a dog cookie and will settle calmly at home.<br/>He also enjoys simple enrichment like:<br/>• Bully sticks<br/>• Beef bones<br/>• Edible chews<br/>• Raw carrots<br/>• Dog cookies<br/>________________________________________<br/>Meals & Feeding<br/>Chanito is used to two meals per day:<br/>Morning:<br/>• 2/3 cup kibble mixed with one raw egg<br/>Dinner (rotated options):<br/>• 2/3 cup kibble with a raw egg<br/>• Cooked raw dog meat with white rice<br/>• Sardines with white rice<br/>• Cooked beef liver with white rice<br/>His strong food motivation makes routine and positive reinforcement easy to maintain.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Separation & Sensitivity<br/>Chanito feels most secure when his person is nearby. He may follow you from room to room—especially around mealtimes or walk times—but otherwise settles quietly.<br/>He is crate trained and stays calm when left alone. He does not bark in his crate; he simply lies down and waits. When you return home, he may whimper or cry until let out. A calm greeting, a nice cuddle, and a special chew treat help him settle quickly.<br/>Because he is sensitive, Chanito may need a short adjustment period in a new home. With patience, reassurance, and consistency, he blossoms into a calm and deeply devoted companion.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Ideal Home<br/>Chanito would thrive in a home where:<br/>• He is the only dog<br/>• Someone is home much of the day or gone only for short periods<br/>• He has a predictable routine<br/>• His person values a close, loyal bond<br/>A yard is not required, but consistent daily walks are important.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Why Adopt Chanito?<br/>If you’re looking for a steady, loving, and loyal companion who will bond deeply and stay by your side, Chanito may be your perfect match. Once he feels safe, he gives his whole heart. 🖤<br/>He’s ready to find his forever person — could that be you?<br/><br/>________________________________________<br/>Rencontrez Chanito – Votre petit compagnon fidèle 🖤<br/>Nom : Chanito<br/>Âge : 6 ans et demi<br/>Poids : 40 lb<br/>Couleur : Noir<br/>Niveau d’énergie : Moyen<br/>Aboiements : Seulement envers les autres chiens<br/>Autres chiens : Préfère être le seul chien<br/>Chats : OK<br/>Enfants : OK avec supervision au début<br/>________________________________________<br/>À propos de Chanito<br/>Chanito est un garçon très doux, affectueux et sensible qui crée un lien profond avec sa personne. Une fois qu’il se sent en sécurité, il devient extrêmement attentif et câlin, toujours le plus heureux quand il est près de vous. Il adore se faire flatter et sera ravi de s’installer à vos côtés pour une soirée tranquille une fois en confiance.<br/>À la maison, Chanito est calme et bien élevé. Il n’aboie pas sans raison et respecte les limites. Il peut parfois tester si le divan est permis, mais il apprend rapidement les règles de la maison et les respecte. Présentement, il est parfaitement heureux de relaxer sur son futon désigné.<br/>Il dort paisiblement toute la nuit sur son lit ou son coussin (il est habitué d’en avoir un près du lit de sa personne) et il s’installe très bien à l’intérieur.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Éducation et personnalité<br/>Chanito est très motivé par la nourriture et désire faire plaisir, ce qui rend l’entraînement facile. Il :<br/>• S’assoit poliment pour sa nourriture<br/>• Répond bien au « non »<br/>• Apprend rapidement avec des gâteries et du renforcement positif<br/>Il s’épanouit avec une routine structurée et cohérente. Sa nature douce et sensible fait qu’il répond beaucoup mieux à une approche calme et bienveillante.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Activité et exercice<br/>Chanito a un niveau d’énergie moyen et apprécie ses promenades quotidiennes — surtout pour surveiller les écureuils ! Il n’est pas hyperactif et n’a pas besoin d’exercice excessif.<br/>S’il n’y a pas de cour :<br/>• 2 à 3 promenades par jour (20 à 45 minutes chacune)<br/>S’il y a une cour :<br/>• Une bonne promenade par jour suffit<br/>• Au moins une promenade plus longue pour la stimulation mentale<br/>Il est satisfait avec une activité modérée et ne souhaite généralement pas marcher plus de 45 minutes. Après sa promenade, il adore recevoir un biscuit pour chien et se repose calmement à la maison.<br/>Il aime aussi des activités d’enrichissement simples comme :<br/>• Bâtons de collagène (bully sticks)<br/>• Os de bœuf<br/>• Mâchouilles comestibles<br/>• Carottes crues<br/>• Biscuits pour chiens<br/>________________________________________<br/>Repas et alimentation<br/>Chanito est habitué à deux repas par jour :<br/>Matin :<br/>• 2/3 de tasse de croquettes mélangées avec un œuf cru<br/>Souper (options en rotation) :<br/>• 2/3 de tasse de croquettes avec un œuf cru<br/>• Viande crue pour chien cuite avec du riz blanc<br/>• Sardines avec du riz blanc<br/>• Foie de bœuf cuit avec du riz blanc<br/>Sa grande motivation alimentaire facilite le maintien d’une routine et du renforcement positif.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Séparation et sensibilité<br/>Chanito se sent plus en sécurité lorsque sa personne est proche. Il peut vous suivre d’une pièce à l’autre — surtout autour des heures de repas ou de promenade — mais autrement, il se repose tranquillement.<br/>Il est habitué à la cage et reste calme lorsqu’il est laissé seul. Il n’aboie pas dans sa cage ; il se couche simplement et attend. À votre retour, il va émettre de gémissements ou un petit crie jusqu’à ce qu’on le laisse sortir. Un accueil calme, des câlins et une gâterie spéciale à mâcher l’aident à se détendre rapidement.<br/>Comme il est sensible, Chanito pourrait avoir besoin d’une courte période d’adaptation dans un nouveau foyer. Avec patience, douceur et constance, il devient un compagnon calme et profondément dévoué.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Foyer idéal<br/>Chanito s’épanouirait dans un foyer où :<br/>• Il est le seul chien<br/>• Quelqu’un est à la maison la majeure partie de la journée ou s’absente seulement pour de courtes périodes<br/>• Il y a une routine prévisible<br/>• Sa personne souhaite créer un lien étroit et fidèle<br/>Une cour n’est pas obligatoire, mais des promenades quotidiennes régulières sont importantes.<br/>________________________________________<br/>Pourquoi adopter Chanito ?<br/>Si vous cherchez un compagnon stable, affectueux et loyal qui créera un lien profond et restera à vos côtés, Chanito pourrait être votre match parfait. Une fois en confiance, il donne tout son cœur. 🖤<br/>Il est prêt à trouver sa personne pour la vie — est-ce que ce sera vous ?
