Chaz as this handsome boy has been called is 4 1/2 years old.
Chaz was in an apartment for about 8 months but something happened that freaked him out
and he became scared to go outside, even nervous inside. For the well being of Chaz
he came back into foster care.
Chaz is doing a great job after a couple months with the help of his foster parents
he has overcome most of his fears. But when trying a different foster home to see
how he would do, he regressed and we moved him back to his previous foster and
within moments he was back to being a happy boy.
We moved Chaz again and he has done marvelous.
If you have patience and love to give to an awesome companion Chaz might be the
boy for you. He is a happy, friendly, playful boy.
We feel he will do better with a canine friend and a fenced yard.
