Meet Chapo! Chapo's story could have ended before it truly began. This incredibly handsome boy was being given away on Craigslist in Georgia while bravely fighting the deadly parvovirus. Neglected, vulnerable, and in heartbreaking condition, he deserved so much more than the hand he had been dealt. Thankfully, he was given the chance to rewrite his story. Despite everything he's been through, Chapo hasn't let his past define him. He's sweet, affectionate, and full of love, with a gentle spirit that will melt your heart. Whether he's soaking up attention, enjoying time with his people, or simply flashing that irresistible smile, Chapo has a way of making everyone fall in love with him. He truly is the whole package; handsome, loving, and ready to become someone's loyal best friend. Now all he needs is a family who will show him the kindness, security, and unconditional love he's always deserved. Could you be the one to give Chapo the forever home he's been waiting for?

🧠 Temperament
He's sweet, affectionate, and full of love, with a gentle spirit that will melt your heart. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
