Meet Chica

Meet Chica! A gentle and graceful four-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix from Altadena, CA, whose soul is wrapped in a stunning tricolor coat and whose heart is just waiting to meet a new loving family. At 77 pounds of plush charm, Chica is the kind of dog who might start off a bit shy but give her a little time and a few belly rubs, and you'll uncover her affectionate, goofy side! She’s got a special fondness for chewy toys and will gladly flop over for tummy time, flashing that look that says, “You know what to do!” With medium energy and a calm nature, Chica is happiest when the day includes a walk, a trip to the dog park, and a cozy nap nearby someone she trusts. Chica is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated—ready for her next chapter! She knows “sit” and “stay,” and while she hasn’t had formal training, she responds well to gentle guidance and a consistent routine. She’s great with young kids and gets along well with other dogs, making her a sweet and safe companion for a family looking to add a second pup or start their pet parenting journey. Loud noises and windy days can make her a little uneasy, but give her a calm, secure space and she'll settle in just fine. She's totally okay being left alone for short stretches, so whether you're working from home or have a regular 9-to-5, Chica can adapt to your schedule—especially if it includes time to sniff around the yard or trot through the neighborhood. She thrives in a home with outdoor space and a caregiver willing to keep up with her walking routine. While we’re not sure how she does with cats, her gentle nature hints that, with a thoughtful introduction, she might just add “feline friend” to her resume. Ready to share your heart (and your chewy toy stash) with this sweet soul? Chica’s tail is wagging at the thought!
