Hello, My Name is Chevy!
Chevy is a gentle, three-month-old puppy whose resilience is nothing short of inspiring. While we suspect he is a mix of American Cattle Dog and Pit Bull Terrier, his true heritage will be known once his DNA test results come in. What’s already clear, though, is Chevy’s warm and loving nature. He is fully current on all his core vaccines, including Distemper/Parvo, Rabies, and Bordetella, and he is regularly treated to prevent fleas, ticks, and heartworm. Throughout his time in foster care, Chevy’s medical needs have been a top priority, with every precaution taken to help him recover and thrive. He’s a bit too young for neutering at this stage; however, his adoption fee is $175, with a $75 refund provided after proof of neutering. Chevy is also microchipped, which offers peace of mind that he will always have a way home if ever lost. Each aspect of his care has been handled with compassion and dedication, preparing Chevy to join a family who will cherish him.
My Story
Chevy’s early life was filled with challenges many puppies never have to face. Born outdoors and left to survive on his own, he endured harsh weather and hunger before a compassionate foster stepped in and brought him to safety. At just two months old, Chevy contracted parvo, a devastating virus that is often fatal for young, unvaccinated dogs like him. His tiny body struggled as he fought off the illness—he required syringe feeding every few hours, round-the-clock fluids, and constant medication to help him pull through. On top of this, a severe worm infestation further threatened his fragile health. His foster family provided unwavering support, tending to his every need with love and hope, even when his prognosis was uncertain. Miraculously, Chevy’s determination never faded. Thanks to the tireless care he received, he overcame every obstacle, his brave spirit shining through each day.
Today, after overcoming so many hurdles, Chevy is thriving and showing just how special he is. Though he’s still recuperating, his heart and enthusiasm are unmatched. Chevy finds pure joy in playtime—he loves chasing toys, tumbling with his puppy friends, and exploring his surroundings with curiosity and excitement. When he’s done playing, he transforms into a gentle cuddle companion, eager to curl up in a lap or snuggle close for warmth and comfort. Chevy delights in sharing affection, often giving sweet hugs and puppy kisses to his caretakers. He is picking up on important puppy manners, learning simple commands like “no” and “down” with patience and encouragement. Potty training continues to go well—he started on puppy pads during his recovery and is now gradually learning to do his business outdoors with the guidance of his foster family and the other dogs. Chevy’s loving, resilient nature makes him a true joy, and he is ready for a forever family who will continue his training and give him all the love he deserves.
