When we tell people that Chicken Dumpling is approx. 8 years old, no one believes us.
“The Benjamin Button of dogs,” he was referred to as at CACC, where he ended up in Dec 2024, as a neglected, starving stray. After a few weeks there, with some shelter, food, and love - he started “aging in reverse” and this senior boy started trotting around like a puppy. He was in desperate need of a dental surgery and a foster home to get healthy in. We were so happy we could provide him both, and made him a Heartland dog.
Chicken is a super friendly, easy-going boy who is doing well in his foster home. He lives with two other large dogs, his foster sisters, who are both around the same age as him. They all get along very well! They all 3 go on walks together, share toys, and even lay next to each other on the dog beds. They live in an apartment in the city and he does great with this lifestyle - he also spent a week with a vacation foster who lived in a city apartment and was a great houseguest.
Chicken loves people just as much as he loves the other dogs. He greets everyone with his full body wiggles and will swing his back-end into you as a way of saying hello. It makes us laugh every time. He goes to work with his foster mom at the shelter and he has met many different people, including kids. He's also a very tolerant boy who lets his foster mom dress him up in whatever the weather requires - including pink snow boots on a freezing day. He is good for baths, nail trims, and vet visits.
Chicken is still working on putting weight on but it hasn't been hard for him - this boy loves to eat! He eats his food in enrichment toys to keep his brain active, and loves to work on commands for treats. It won't be long until he's officially “dumpling” size!
He is a sweet deserving senior dog who really deserves a forever home for his golden years. We love him so much, and we know you will too. Please inquire about Chicken Dumpling!
Chicken Dumpling's adoption fee is $150. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
