Chestnut is a joyful, playful boy with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. He had a rough start, found as a puppy on the streets of Cabo San Lucas and recently recovering from surgery.

He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and working on his leash manners like a champ.<br/><br/>He would thrive in a home with adults or older kids (13+) who understand the joy and responsibility of raising an energetic, loving dog as a true family member. Chestnut is ready to bring love, loyalty, and cuddles into his forever home.
