Is there anything better than coming home to a big ol’ 70lb goofy dog? I don’t think so, my name is Gilbert and I am what they call a derp dog. As you can see from my pictures, not only am I a floppy boy, I am also photogenically handsome. What’s not to love?!
In all seriousness, I have been looking for the perfect forever family for a long time, but as they say, all good things come to those who wait. While I’ve been waiting for my forever home, MAS has been helping me practice training and manners. I love the treats, so it has been a blast! Who doesn’t love treats though, lets be honest here; matter-in-fact, I fully support the midnight snack trips we can absolutely take together. We can walk it off in the morning anyways….and then snuggle on the couch to watch TV and take a cozy nap; its a win/win….win!
I know what you’re thinking: “Gilbert is perfect, he can’t get any better” and that is where you would be wrong my friend. You are looking at a genuine party animal right here! A serious happy-go-lucky guy, sure to make every day an adventure together. I love playing outside, swimming in the MAS pond, playing with my human and canine friends, and going for car rides!
Though I try, nobody is perfect. I guess perfect is a fantasy, but I am constantly learning and doing my best to be a better dog than I was yesterday; and to me (and I hope you too) that is perfect. I would do best in a home with older children and adults due to my enthusiasm sometimes being a bit too much for little ones. Though I have come leaps and bounds (as far as training and progression goes), and I really am trying to be the best dog I can be….but I draw the line with cats.
If you are looking for a happy and handsomely dopey face to greet you at your door, submit your application!

Chachi is a 5 year old male Rat Terrier mix weighing in at 33 pounds. If you adopt Chachi, he promises to be your very best friend forever! This wonderful boy is fully house and crate trained. He loves his walks and exploring outside although he is still working on his leash manners. He needs someone that is dedicated to leash training and is strong enough to handle him in the event he gets excited about chasing something. Other than that, he really just loves a good snuggle and lots of attention. He gets along well with other large and medium dogs but would also do very well as an only dog where he can get all of the attention and pets himself. He has a strong prey drive therefore he cannot live with small dogs or cats and will require a fenced in yard to keep him safe. He has made a lot of progress in this regards and we think he is a pretty good learner. He knows basic commands of sit and down and we are still working on the “come” command. We think he would thrive in a good dog training course! He really loves his food and is very food motivated however he is a bit on the chunky side and could benefit from a weight loss and exercise program. Chachi is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccinations and preventatives and his adoption fee is $250. Can you give this loving boy the home he deserves? Submit an application today!
