BIO

My name is Logan Barnes and I adopted Chandler 6 years ago from the Upland Animal Shelter. 1 week before I officially adopted Chandler, I found him on the side of a busy highway as a stray. I picked him up, noticed that he didn't have any ID tags on, and took him to the nearest shelter. The good news was that he had a microchip! The sad news was that his previous family did not want to keep him and surrendered him to the shelter.

Growing up with a bulldog, I immediately connected to his very funny and stubborn personality. 7 days later, I officially adopted Chandler from the rescue. Soon after, I learned Chandler is actually deaf and has a lot of behavioral challenges. He is a very goofy, stubborn, and sleepy yet energetic dog that loves meeting new people. Once Chandler makes up his mind about something it's hard to convince him otherwise! Chandler has learned various hand signals for different commands. He can sit, stay, down, "pound it", and stand on things using hand commands. Our rehabilitation process continues to be a work in progress, but his determination and love has made it all worth it. I can't imagine my life without him in it!
