I adopted chesty puller from the shelter 3 years ago. He was just a few months old he was so cute and looked so scared. I needed a friend for my elderly dog Lily at the time (may she rip! ). Over time I learned he was afraid of men and loud noises. He loves to play run, chew stuff haha and loves other doggies ! 10 months ago a became a first time mom at 40 years old. I am a Marine Corps Combat Veteran and struggle w anxiety, depression and PTSD. At first chesty was ok then as time went on and I dealt w PPD he became too much for me, I live in a 777sq ft apt and do not have time to walk him or control
Him he’s 90lbs and gets excited. The baby cries he howels and it’s too much for me. He’s the sweetest boy loyal has a BIG bark but that’s all! He’s harmless lol the baby is getting mobile and he’s not liking it. Unfortunately this season of life is not good for me to have him! He needs someone patient with him and a big yard, farm or ranch to play on! I hope to
Connect and find him
The perfect home and forever family!
