Adopt Chapi

Chapi arrived to us without a microchip and very skinny, but even in the situation of abandonment, Chapi always was in happy spirits, full of life and ready to have fun! Chapi is a Shar Pei mix, has the Shar Pei face, body shape, blue-dotted tongue but doesn’t have the typical heavy skin folds on his body. His skin and body are now in very good condition and he does not require any special diet or medicine at this point for his skin, like many Shar Peis do. Chapi loves foods and snacks, so even though Shar Peis are quite stubborn and sometimes ignorant when it comes to rules and training, then it is quite easy to train Chapi, since he loves yummy stuff. Sadly, Chapi has already been returned from 2 homes, and we are devastated. What Chapi needs, is a calm confident home, who is able to set rules and boundaries to a dog, but not only - also to engage with Chapi in a way that creates a mutul respect relationship, not just “I am human, you do as I say”. Obedience classes, social group walks with trainer and other dogs, nosework, searching games - all of these activities will bond Chapi and his human, and make life together so much easier and lighter. A person who is able to say “no” to their dog, and will help develop a balanced, peaceful and confident dog. When Chapi is in a home environment without experience and boundaries, then from frustration he destroyed toys and water bottles, or toilet paper rolls - to direct his frustration. He also was sometimes guarding very high value treats like a ham bone, so it is important to have rules in the house, and to reduce potential points of conflict. Chapi is very playful and loves to be in physical contact with his human, so he is looking for a cuddly human, one that does not mind sloppery kisses all over your face. Even though he needs to wear a muzzle at the veterinary when something painful is being done, he is still the favourite dog of the nurse, once the procedure is over - kissing and smooching the veterinary nurse
