Chief's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Alpha Dog Pet Rescue Westlake Village (AlphaDogPetRescue@yahoo.com) for more information about this pet.<br/>Courtesy post for Alpha Dog Pet Rescue. Please contact AlphaDogPetRescue@yahoo.com for more information and an adoption application.<br/><br/>Meet Chief – A Gentle Soul in Need of a Patient, Loving Home<br/><br/>Chief is a sweet brown Chihuahua who recently came into rescue with his two brothers, Delgado and Sweetheart, after their owner passed away. Currently unneutered and in need of some extra TLC, Chief is searching for a calm and understanding forever home where he can feel safe, secure, and loved at his own pace.<br/><br/>Chief arrived with a skin condition and a very dry nose, but thanks to gentle care and treatment (including soothing coconut oil for his nose), he is on the mend. While his body is healing, his heart is still learning to trust. Chief is very sweet, but also anxious. He will come to you on his own terms, but sudden approaches or attempts to pick him up make him nervous, and he may express his fear through growling.<br/><br/>Chief’s anxiety is compounded by the fact that his more outgoing siblings sometimes bully him, so he would benefit from a peaceful home where he can be the focus of gentle, patient attention. Despite his nervousness, Chief has shown he enjoys time outdoors once encouraged, exploring quietly and soaking in the fresh air.<br/><br/>Chief is looking for a very special person or family who understands that trust takes time, and who can offer him the love, patience, and calm environment he needs to truly come out of his shell.<br/><br/>Chief is currently being fostered in San Bernardino County, CA.
