Chase is a 9-month-old puppy who quickly worked his way into the heart of his foster mom and dad (as well as everyone who meets him). He happily explores the home and yard of his foster family and plays with stuffed toys as well as his foster siblings. This charming little pup has even convinced the family cat to play! He loves his foster parents and does his best to stick close to his foster mom. He wouldn’t want her to get lonesome, after all!                                   

Little Chase has bursts of energy, but tires fairly quickly. He has a very serious heart problem and is under the care of a cardiologist. Surgery was attempted in mid-October to correct a valve in his heart. Though his balloon valvuloplasty procedure did not have the desired outcome - the valve in his heart that is faulty was not opened as we'd hoped, he has grown and is as spunky as ever! He is a sweet, loving, playful, exuberant little fella. He loves to chase small, squeaky tennis balls and will even toss them for himself if he can't find a human to do it for him!

Because of his heart problem, Chase won’t be available for adoption for several months at least. In the meantime, he’s reminding everyone who meet him that puppies are fur-covered love and that there’s always time for a cuddle on the couch or another squeak of a toy. All of us in HRI are hoping this darling little guy gets a chance to live a long and healthy life.

CHASE is being fostered in WA.
