Chewy
German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) · Adult (2 years 3 months) · Male · Large · Skokie, IL
Notes from German Shepherd Rescue INC
Meet Chewy! At 11 months old, this boy was surrendered to CACC in April of 2025 because he was “too much” to handle for his owner. Chewy is your typical working line shepherd that lives for his ball. He is high energy and very intelligent. Chewy is looking for an experienced home that will keep him mentally stimulated and provide lots of exercise. He needs work on reactivity towards other dogs — training will be required for this handsome boy. Chewy is housebroken, crate trained and knows some basic commands. He is a friendly guy that thinks everyone is his best friend. He loves to shower people with kisses! Due to his energy and exuberance with people, he is best suited for a home with no young children.
