Chika's Story
Meet Chika - Your Sunshine-Loving, Gentle Companion <br/>Looking for a sweet soul to share quiet moments, sun-drenched afternoons, and unconditional love? Chika might just be your perfect match.<br/>This soft-eyed girl is a gentle spirit with a heart of gold. She may be a little shy at first, but give her some time and patience, and you'll discover a deeply loyal and loving companion who just wants to be near you - especially if you're outside!<br/><br/> Nature is Her Happy Place<br/>Chika adores the outdoors. Whether she's lounging in the grass, sniffing the breeze, watching squirrels with laser focus, or supervising your yard work with quiet dedication, she truly shines when she's outside. After spending nearly a year in a Texas foster home where she lived outdoors, it's no wonder that sunshine and fresh air are her happy place.<br/><br/> A Resilient Girl with a Bright Future<br/>Chika recently had hip surgery and is healing well! She would love a home that can support her continued recovery with:<br/>Comfy dog beds<br/>Short, gentle walks<br/>Peaceful time outdoors<br/>Chika experiences some wobbliness in her hind legs due to an unknown neurological condition. That doesn't seem to slow her down though. She is still able to go up stairs, run around the yard, and play with her fellow dog friends. We are not certain what has caused this, but it has not shown any progression over the past several months. She has gone through diagnostics such as a tick-borne disease panel, and x-rays without an official answer. More than likely, an MRI would be required to receive a diagnosis, but we do not have the capacity to perform. <br/><br/> Chika Would Thrive With:<br/>A calm or moderately active home<br/>Patient, gentle humans willing to let her bloom at her own pace<br/>A fenced yard to enjoy her outdoor time safely<br/>Maybe a calm dog sibling to share naps and sunbeams with<br/><br/> Chika is Waiting for Her Second Chance<br/>If you're the kind of person who believes that love is earned through patience, and that quiet moments can be the most meaningful - Chika is waiting to meet you. She's not just looking for a home - she's looking for someone to trust, to love, and to follow wherever life leads.<br/><br/>I am an All-Star dog! My adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and I will go home with my very own no pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get us off to a good start. To learn more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! I hope to meet you soon!<br/><br/>Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (6 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.
