Name: Hi! My name is Chooli, the Navajo name for mountain. My humans wanted me to have a Navajo name because I’m from the Reservation. I’ve grown up to be a very large dog, like a mountain!
Hometown: I was born on August 19, 2020, five days after my mother was rescued from a very rural area of the Navajo reservation. I was one of nine puppies born that day in the loving care of a rescue in Cottonwood, AZ called the Big Luck Club.
Age: I’m sixteen months old. I was adopted at four months old from another rescue in Clarkdale called Pets Return Home. A year ago, my human parents adopted both me and my dog mother. They named her Ama, which is a Native American word for water.
Favorite brand of kibble: I love my Victor Yukon River Canine Kibble! I also enjoy my FreshPet and any treats I can get!
Favorite people food: My humans don’t want me to beg at the table, but they often save a little steak, fish, or chicken to give me as a treat after dinner.
Favorite toy: I have to admit that I tend to chew up any toy made of fabric. I just love to pull out the stuffing! Consequently, my Mom gives me marrow bones, which I dearly love to chew on all day long! I also love a good tug-of-war game and will chase balls and squeaky toys with my people.
Favorite outdoor activity: This is a no-brainer! Every single day of the year, my humans take Ama and me on a long walk in the neighborhood or a hike in the forest. It is the very best part of the day!
Favorite indoor activity: Eating my breakfast and dinner and practicing my good manners! I get a treat every time I do what I’m told! I also love a good nap.
Favorite nap spot: My favorite place to sleep is in my Dad’s chair next to the fireplace. I also have a comfy bed.
Fitness regimen: I love my daily walks and hikes, playing with Ama in my yard, and playing fetch with my people.
Describe your perfect canine pal: Without a doubt, I love to play with my sister Soaf. I try to wrestle, chase, and play with my doggie mom, but she is often disinterested! I look forward to my monthly playdate with sister Soaf where we can indulge in a serious game of chase and do other doggie stuff!
Describe your perfect day: I would like to play with Soaf, take a nap, and then play in my yard with my whole family, have a yummy dinner, and sleep with Ama by the fire!
