Chortle

Some dogs come to us with quite the criminal record... at least according to the officer who found Chortle! This 2-year-old sweetheart was picked up as a stray, and her intake sheet jokingly listed her offense as "jaywalking." The internet quickly came to her defense, declaring her innocent, and we have to agree.<br/><br/>Chortle absolutely adores people and is happiest soaking up attention from anyone willing to give it. Shelter life has been overwhelming for her, and she stays in a high state of arousal, making it difficult for her to relax. Around other dogs, she's still figuring things out. She enjoys playing but can become overwhelmed and reactive when things get too exciting, so she'll need slow introductions and patient guidance as she learns appropriate social skills.<br/><br/>With time, consistency, and a home where she can finally decompress, we think Chortle's silly, loving personality will shine. If you're looking for a dog who will keep you laughing and shower you with affection, this "wanted fugitive" is ready to leave her life of crime behind and start her next chapter as a beloved family member.
