Meet Chloe

Hi! My name is Chloe and I am approximately 2 years old and am a Hound/Pit Bull Mix. I have been recently spayed, am up-to-date on shots and microchipped.I had a litter of puppies about 3 months ago and I was an amazing mom (everyone tells me so) but my little ones are off starting their own adventures and it’s my turn now. I like everyone I’ve met so far but can be a little timid around males. And everyone’s loved me so far, including the vet that help make sure I’ll never have more puppies. She said I am an awesome girl that needs her forever home right away!As you can see from my pictures I do great with other dogs and my foster home has both large and small dog. I haven’t met any cats yet but I think I would chase them if they run cuz I do like playing so cat savvy dogs only.I love being in your lap and I am full of wiggles from the moment I see you until bed time. I am an energetic gal who loves playing. I chase balls and stuffies but don’t bring them back and so far I haven’t had too many stuffies explode around me. It’s so weird when they do that!I do need some work on my manners so because I like jumping and I weigh approximately 65 pounds I need a home with older kids.Also, I’ve gone through a lot of life changes in the last couple months and it’s given my some anxiety so I take anxiety meds daily. And I’m on a chicken free diet, I had some bad wounds on my ears due to allergies and being so itchy, but removing chicken from my diet has helped greatly and my ears are so much better.I would love another to play and cuddle with. It helps me build confidence but if you promise to help me get my energy out daily and you won’t leave me home alone lots, I might be ok with no canine companion. Like I said, I love playing and it’s great to stretch my legs and do some running.Interested in meeting me? Great! I can’t wait to meet my forever home and start my life.
