Chili Cattle Dog Mix Manhattan, KS

Hi! My name is Chili. I'm an 18-month-old pup (about 50 pounds) and maybe an Australian Cattle Dog mix, with a cute nubby tail. I can be a little shy at first because I’ve had a rough start in life, but you’ll soon find that I’m a relaxed, gentle boy who is eager to please, full of love, and will make a great addition to your family!
I’ve been through a couple of loving foster homes and I’ve been wonderful with all kinds of dogs and with kids, and even with cats. I’m happy in my kennel for a few hours or overnight but may bark when you leave and when you come home—even then I’m easily verbally corrected with a simple “no.” The only reason I would need to be in a kennel is if you leave shoes or food within my reach ?
I love going on walks and work well on a leash, but I'd also be happy following you around on a farm or in a pasture. I'm potty trained, as long as I get enough opportunities. I am *very* treat motivated so it's easy to teach me new tricks!
My ideal home will give me plenty of exercise as well as some quality couch potato time. I would especially love a fur sibling because I love to play but an active family would be a great fit as well. I’m such a good, smart boy and I’m just waiting to blossom into your perfect forever companion.
If you think I sound like the pup you’ve been waiting for, please apply to adopt me at purple-paws.org.
My adoption fee is $220, which covers all my medical bills and housing expenses. I can’t wait to meet you!
