I was named Chico but I never answered to that name and today they told me that my new name is CHAMP because there is nothing little about me (remember "chico" means little).  CHAMP!  I like that and already am responding because I LIKE IT!

So .. I'm CHAMP and I arrived at Blue Moon on 10/7/09 from the shelter in Pueblo, CO.  I'm a really cool guy and very handsome (hey, I call 'em as I see 'em) and I seriously enjoy my squeeki toys and playing ball.  I like a good run with a friend.  I am good with people and pretty good with other dogs, but when they gave me the "Cat Test" ... well that didn't go very well.  I'm pretty sure cats qualify as fast food.  I'm neutered and current on all shots and will be microchipped before I am adopted.  I am now used to sleeping in a crate at night and I kinda like having my own sleeping space and gettting a reward for going there.  I also like having my very own yard and I have already figured out I get a reward for going there in the morning.  I really like knowing what the rules are (and they have rules here) and it's nice to be with people who have a game plan.  I am working on my "obedience" stuff ... heck, I didn't even know how to walk on a leash 4 days ago ... and I'm real smart and like to please folks.  I'm looking for a family who wants a partner that's going to be their best buddy.  I've been kindly treated in life, but nobody ever taught me anything before and they let me roam (and that's how I ended up in the dog jail) and then they just told the shelter to "keep me."  So here I am.  I'd love a real home for the holidays, will it be with you?

Hi...I'm Kylie and I'm a real charmer.  I am about three years old and I just adore people and can hardly wait to have my own family.   My life was pretty bad before I came into rescue.  I picked up by the dog police as a stray and I had a nasty chain around my neck; I was wandering, hungry and injured.
