Meet Chevy

Updated 1-7-2026

Meet Chevy — the sweetest girl with a tender heart, a playful soul, and a story shaped by resilience. At 5 years old, Chevy has made meaningful strides through professional training and is now searching for a calm, experienced family ready to continue her journey with patience and understanding.

💙 Personality

Chevy is sensitive and cautious when meeting new people or navigating unfamiliar situations. She startles easily and needs time to feel safe—but once trust is built, she absolutely blossoms. With her people, she’s a giant cuddlebug who adores belly rubs, couch time, and flopping onto her back like a goofy, happy seal.

She’s a true Velcro Dane: a champion leaner, enthusiastic lap invader, and playful spirit who loves zoomies, rolling in the grass, and enthusiastically dismantling squeaky toys.

💛 Training & Progress

Chevy is house trained, crate trained, and knows her basic cues: sit, down, come, stay, and off. She’s highly treat-motivated and thrives in structured, controlled training environments.

Her biggest hurdle is fear around unfamiliar people and dogs. When overwhelmed outdoors, she may bark, snap, or lunge—but with professional guidance, she has shown the ability to remain calm, neutral, and increasingly confident. Her foster family continues to see steady improvement, especially with slow, thoughtful introductions and consistent routines.

Chevy will do best with a family committed to positive-reinforcement training, careful management, and allowing her confidence to grow at her own pace.

🏡 Ideal Home

Chevy is looking for:
• A quiet, predictable home
• A fenced yard or safe outdoor space for zoomies
• No other pets
• Adults only or older, dog-savvy teens
• Experience with fearful or reactive dogs (or willingness to learn)
• Patience, structure, compassion, and consistency

She forms deep bonds with her people and can experience separation anxiety, though she’s making great progress calmly settling in her kennel when left alone.

🚗 A Few More Things to Love

• Loves car rides and hops right in
• Non-destructive in the home
• Sleeps in bed and loves to snuggle
• Very polite with food and waits for permission

❤️ Why Chevy

Chevy is a deeply loving, emotionally intuitive girl who just needs someone who believes in her. She may take time to fully settle, but once she does, she gives her whole heart. Watching her grow—through brave training moments, joyful zoomies, and quiet cuddles—is incredibly rewarding.

✨ Thanks to a generous sponsor, Chevy’s adoption fee has been fully covered so she can land in the perfect home—where the focus is on the right match!
