Hi there! My name is Munchkin. I am a young dude at only 8 months old and am still learning the ins and outs of being a cat. During my time at CHS, I have realized that I enjoy exploring, being in high places, and meeting new cat friends! I appreciate affection from humans however fast movements and noises can me scary to me so I prefer people to approach me slowly. Do I sound like the cat for you? Come visit me during CHS’s adoption hours, I would love to meet you!

Say hello to Marlowe. Marlowe is your typical Great Dane, a gentle giant who has no concept of his size! He bonds quickly with his people but he is nervous around new people. He would do best in a home that understands his breed or has experience with timid dogs. His size allows him to skillfully and easily open doors on his own and his head is right at counter-top height! He's made great strides in his foster home so with time and patience, his confidence should continue to increase.
Marlowe is very connected to his people but he really enjoys playing with his Bloodhound foster-brother. They play hard followed by sleeping hard! He is crate trained and finds a lot of comfort in his crate as his safe space. He loves car rides and long walks. To meet Marlow, please fill out an adoption application online.

Hi there, Sunrize here! Let me let you in on a little secret... I am the best cat ever. Yeah, all the other felines in the cattery are great, but you won't find one better than me.

Hello there, Wilfred here! I was just thinking about you and waiting for you to scroll past my photo! I know you, you are my future family and I was hoping you would come visit me sometime soon. The shelter life can be so busy and I long for a window perch with the sunshine beaming in. I've heard the other cats talk about how that use to be their favorite place to nap and it sounds so relaxing. Let's talk soon? Come visit me at the Chesapeake Humane Society or fill out an adoption application online.

Say hi to Pickles! At 9 years old, Pickles has not slowed down. He enjoys walks around the neighborhood and has some mad hops. Just when you think he is too tiny to jump up on the bed, just give him a minute to calculate the jump and he will be up snuggling you in no time. He embodies the phrase "if there is a will, there is a way". When Pickles isn't calculating jumping distances, he loves to cuddle with his favorite humans and nap on the couch. He likes toys, especially squeaky ones, and brief play sessions with humans or other dogs. Pickles is an easygoing guy who is sure to bring warmth to your heart and lap this fall season and for many years to come! Fill out an application online to adopt him or meet him in-person at the Great Bridge Dairy Queen today from 11:30 am - 2:00 pm!
