Chia Mixed Breed San Francisco, CA

This beautiful girl is Chia. She is a 1-year-old, 49.5-lb, black and white, mixed breed dog. We do not DNA test and frankly, I am not great at guessing. She is a very friendly and playful girl who is young enough to have a whole lot of learning left to do but has already seen some of the harsher side of what life has to offer. When you look through her photos you will understand that I was choosing which photos I thought were the best ones to post (so many made the cut) and then watching her videos that, (ahem) it wasn't until the 2nd video that I saw and remembered that she is a tripawd dog. YES, the 2nd video I watched!!!

Now you can go ahead and make fun of me if you want but I feel fairly confident that right up until you read this information some of you looked through all her photos and videos and are now in disbelief that you didn't notice either, and will go back to watch again. Honestly she was running so fast that all I saw at first were the strange markings on her right side and was happy that she was healthy enough to be cruising around that court running like the wind! Then I saw that she was on 3 legs and I started to laugh because I knew that I, a seasoned watcher of dog videos, missed it the first time. So, when I tell you that missing a leg doesn't seem to bother her at all, I do sincerely mean just that.

Chia is a very friendly, smart and playful girl. She is used to living with other dogs and would love to go out walking or hiking or running with you, or your kids. She would probably be up for almost any kind of athletic endeavor or relationship building exercises you have in mind. I'd keep it on the ground if I were you - I'm not sure how she'd feel about skydiving, and definitely no boxing, but maybe some yoga - you saw her balance when she was running right? Maybe you aren't a runner or hiker or walker? That's cool, maybe a nice fenced back yard for her exercise every day? That would work too.
