Meet Chewie

Meet CHEWIE THE GREAT! Hi friends! I’m Chewie, but my foster mama calls me “Chewie the Great!” I’m a handsome 7-year-old, 63 lb blue and white Pit Bull mix with an even BIGGER heart! I absolutely LOVE people, give endless kisses, and firmly believe I’m a lap dog! On September 25, 2026, I was scheduled to lose my life at the Apple Valley shelter. My dad was deployed, and his family could no longer keep me. Through the incredible efforts of Passion for Pitties, I was rescued on the very day I was scheduled to be euthanized! Now I’m living my best life in a loving foster home in San Diego! I enjoy yummy meals, neighborhood walks, cozy beds, belly rubs, and ALL the cuddles I can get! I survived death row, and now I’m hoping for something even greater… a forever family to call my own. I may look like a tough guy, but I’m really just a big, lovable teddy bear who wants to be loved. Could YOU be my happily ever after?
