Her journey began when she found herself hanging out on a stranger's patio, seeking refuge from the world. However, her sanctuary was short-lived as an officer intervened and brought her to the shelter. Understandably, Chromie wasn't thrilled with the shelter life; she longed for the freedom of the outdoors and warmer days.In the shelter, Chromie's Malinois instincts shone through, showcasing her intelligence and quick wit.

However, her true colors emerged when a compassionate soul dared to open her kennel door, revealing a dog bursting with love and enthusiasm.Chromie is thriving in her foster home, she is a bundle of energy and joy, always eager to make new friends, go for walks, and engage in playful activities. She adores toys and loves to exercise her sharp mind, constantly seeking new challenges to conquer. While she walks decently on a leash, she may show reactivity towards other dogs, driven by a mixture of curiosity and frustration at not being able to say hello.Despite her initial kennel reservations, Chromie has shown great potential for socialization with other dogs. She had successful introductions and playdates with several other canines, demonstrating her pro-social behavior and eagerness to connect with fellow furry friends. She thrives in the company of tolerant dogs who appreciate her unique blend of intelligence and charisma.Chromie's ideal home would be one filled with love, patience, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. She craves companionship and would thrive in an environment where her intelligence is celebrated and challenged. With the right family who understands her quirks and appreciates her bright personality, Chromie is sure to shine as the star pupil in any class.If you're looking for a smart, playful, and endlessly charming companion, Chromie is the perfect match for you. With her Malinois smarts and Husky allure, she's ready to steal your heart and become your loyal partner in adventures big and small.Chromie is up to to date on her vaccinations, has been spayed and is microchipped.__________________________________If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application.Apply to adopt at: www.nerdypaws.orgNerdy Paws Animal Rescue is a foster based rescue in Springfield, VA.
