LONG STAY Chumper Is Stunningly Handsome and Is Already Altered! Friendly and Outgoing with People! With coltish legs, a velvety, caramel coat and eyes that make you wonder if he's possibly part person, Chumper could easily be renamed Thumper as your heart will be "thump, thump, thump."

A volunteer writes: Helllloooo, handsome! Do your best to hold on to your breath at the sight of 6 year-old Chumper. With coltish legs, a velvety, caramel coat and eyes that make you wonder if he's possibly part person, Chumper could easily be renamed Thumper as your heart will be "thump, thump, thump." Now who among us doesn't love a man full of mystery, and that's precisely what Chumper still is. With his quiet, curious demeanor, exploring the pen on a chilly day and returning for pets and treats, Chumper is a most elegant presence who'll always leave you wanting more, wanting more of those eyes and to learn more about him. What we do know is Chumper is incredibly polite with his snacks and prone to bursts of silly play if you get him running which, with those legs, you probably should. Thump, thump, thump. Now listen to the beat of your heart, and come make it full with our Chumper today. Chumper is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC.
