Chunk (aka Chunk-A-Chicken) is a sweet 2-year old male American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was surrendered by his family on November 27, 2024 along with his brother (Cow) through no fault of their own.
Chunk has a tan-and-white short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with dark brown eyes, a black button nose, a splash of white on his muzzle,and semi-erect ears.
His family provided extensive information about Chunk and Cow:
The boys are good with children older than 10-years old (though they do tend to jump on people), and they are also good with other dogs and cats.
Chunk and Cow know several basic commands (sit, stay/wait, down, speak, and come here).
They have been kept indoors except for time outdoors during the day when confined in their yard or taking walks with their family. Chunk and Cow are housetrained and only have 'accidents' if you don't wake up around 6:30am to take them outside.
Chunk and Cow are frightened of loud noises and people wearing hats/cats with a bill on the hat. They react by barking or circling away.
Their favorite toys are kong toys/rings, bones, tug-of-war rope, and running after the young boys in their home on mini-bikes.
They love to snuggle and sleep in their family's bed or with the young children. Chunk and Cow love baths and bubbles, and the love pig ears.
These photos of Chunk were taken on December 4, 2024 when HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren accompanied him for outdoor pictures. Chunk has an affectionate, playful personality, and he was a joy to photograph.
Chunk weighs 52 lbs and walks fairly well on a leash.
Chunk and Cow had been in their home since they were young puppies and have never been separated, so they would love to find another home together.
Chunk and Cow will be neutered before being adopted by their new family. They could be fostered-to-adopt while awaiting their neuter procedures with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application.
