Chef Boyardee – In Foster

Meet Chef Boyardee – In Foster

**My adoption fee has been waived by a generous donor!**

If you love a slow simmer and know that good things come as a result of time and care, you’ll fall in love with Chef. This spry grandpa might take a little time to settle into your home, but once he does, you’ll experience his beautiful, cuddly, patient, and sweet soul.

**Chef is currently in a foster home and not residing at the shelter. If you are interested in Chef and want to learn more about him, please go to the shelter during open hours and speak with a staff member. If a match is found, staff will coordinate a time for Chef to return to the shelter to meet the potential adopter.**

Chef spends a lot of his time napping, preferably in close proximity to or on his humans. He loves a lap or a shoulder on which to place his head. He can cuddle for hours when he’s in a certain mood, and he’s been known to climb into laps like a cat: however, he appreciates his space sometimes, too. More than anything, he loves sniffing. Be prepared for some slow walks while he sniffs every lawn, hydrant, and bush he can get his nose on. He appreciates patience while he explores scents, especially because he’s unable to hear.

He gets energetic a couple of times a day, but if given a choice of his favorite projects – a stuffed Kong, a chew toy, a bully stick, a broth ice cube – he’s able to settle. He’ll ask for pets when he’d like them, but sometimes he just likes to stand near his humans while he looks around and sniffs. Because of his deafness, he appreciates a careful approach.

Two of Chef’s best traits are his gentleness and patience. Sure, he’s a klutz, and a master of physical comedy, but he is gentle and patient with his humans.

Life with Chef means a life with cuddles, snuggles, laughter, treats, leisurely walks, and lots of naps. If you’re ready to greet every day with happy tail wags and soulful brown eyes, then you should say, Yes, Chef!
