When Dayna made an adoption post for her foster dog, Chowder, she decided to skip the sugarcoating. Describing him as “gross, quirky, and badly-behaved,” she aimed for complete honesty—and it worked better than anyone could have imagined.
Chowder’s adoption post hilariously detailed his unique quirks and specific requirements. Among them were “sturdy, non-breakable children” and a strict “no” to other dogs. There was even a colorful warning: “You’re not walking a regular old dog, you’re walking a hyena with gorilla strength.” Instead of scaring people away, the post captured the attention of Stacy, who saw the humor and charm behind Chowder’s larger-than-life personality.
For Stacy, it was love at first read. She knew Chowder was meant to be part of her family, and soon enough, the adoption was finalized. In his new home, Chowder has found the perfect match—an environment that embraces all his quirks and loves him exactly as he is.
Dayna’s brutally honest and hilarious approach to Chowder’s adoption post didn’t just find him a home—it found him the home. Sometimes, it’s those quirks that make a dog truly unforgettable.
