Chief's Story

AGE: 9 weeks (as of 2/13/26)<br/>WEIGHT: 10 lbs<br/><br/>Meet Chief!<br/><br/>Chief is an 8-week-old Pittie mix with a confident and independent streak. He’s perfectly happy entertaining himself while you’re busy—but don’t let that fool you, cuddles are still very important to him.<br/><br/>Chief loves a good game of tug-of-war and takes his role very seriously… at least until he wears himself out. After playtime, he’s happiest curling up for a cozy nap, preferably in front of a warm space heater. He has a great balance of playful energy and laid-back charm.<br/><br/>He is used to wearing a collar and harness. Leashes are still confusing (snow wins every time), and he’s about 75% piddle-pad trained. He is doing great with kids, dogs, and cats! Chief enjoys all kinds of toys, especially tug toys, stuffies, and anything he can proudly carry around. With a little guidance and lots of love, Chief will grow into a loyal and easygoing family dog.<br/><br/>The C litter of 11 puppies plus their mom, Coco, came to us from our rescue partner in Dallas, Texas.<br/><br/><br/>HOW TO ADOPT:<br/><br/>THIS dog is NOT in the shelter. For puppies in foster care, you MUST submit an application via EMAIL to smpetfinder@gmail.com. Please note in the email subject which puppy you are interested in.<br/><br/>Go to: http://www.smallmiraclesrescue.org<br/>and click "How to Adopt".
