Chonky Monk, our 48 pound 8 month old mixed puppy, comes to us from our friends @firstnationsvet (check these fine folks out if you haven't already). They were doing a spay/neuter clinic on the Warm Springs Reservation when someone brought in Chonky. Found injured by the side of the road, it was suspected he was hit by a car. We took him in and diagnosed him with a fracture to his femur. Thanks to the @1510Foundation for covering Chonky Monk's care in its entirety, we were able to have his leg surgically repaired. Finally healed, it's time to find this teddy-bear of a dog a home.

Friendly to everyone he meets, Chonky is a sweet, sensitive, quiet soul. He loves to cuddle and is basically a 48 pound weighted blanket. A true love sponge, Chonky would do well in most families. Because he's still a baby, and baby dogs are mouthy, we recommend only older kids in Chonky's home.

His foster home was probably Chonk's first experience at being a house dog. Because of this, Chonky Monk is still learning. Leashes are odd to him and he's still practicing how to walk on a lead. His main experiences with cars didn't work out great for him, and they still scare him. But Chonky is very food motivated, smart, and eager to do a good job.

Chonky Monk is great with other dogs. We think, due to his inexperience at being a city dog, Chonky would do best in a home with another confident dog or two. Like a lot of dogs with previous food insecurity, Chonky prefers to eat by himself. He doesn't like feeling like another dog will take his kibble. Chonky is nearly potty trained, great when left alone and self entertains with toys. We suspect he will be 60-70 pounds fully grown.

Chonky Monk is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. He is fully vaccinated and microchipped. Like all puppies, Chonky Monk will thrive with ongoing training and socialization.

Think yours is the home for Chonky?
