Meet Chamba - courtesy post
Meet Chamba!
He's a 2-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog / Miniature Poodle mix whose family has gone through an unexpected change, and Chamba needs a new home.
Chamba was born November 19, 2021 in Montrose, CO. His mom is a 120-lb. Bernese Mountain Dog and his Dad is a 12-lb. Poodle! Chamba ended up being 90 lbs. -- a nice midpoint between Mom and Dad.
Chamba LOVES cold weather and snow and would be happiest in a place where it snows a lot of the year. He's not a fan of the sun and heat, and is always seeking shade.
He goes for a walk every day and is a strong boy, so his people are looking for adopter(s) who can match his strength while Chamba is on leash. He knows how to ring a bell to let you know when he wants to go outside and come back in. The bells will be provided to his adopter(s) so they have the correct ring. He's been going to a wonderful trainer where he's been learning his doggie cues and doggie boundaries around the other dog and kitty in the household. Ideally, Chamba will need a calm household with a training structure.
He'd love to have another big dog to play with but would also be happy on his own. A small dog, kitty or young child in the home wouldn't work for this big boy, so we're saying No Cats, Small Dogs or Kids in the House, please and thanks. (A teenager might be OK.)
Chamba is neutered, housetrained, crate-trained (where he sleeps overnight and when his people aren't home), doesn't shed, and he's up to date on his doggie shots. If needed, Chamba's crate can accompany him when he goes to his new home. He's currently living with his people in Carbondale, CO, but can be transported to the Boulder area if needed.
For more info and/or to apply to adopt Chamba, send us an email at [email protected], telling us a bit about yourself, your home environment and your lifestyle. A volunteer will get back to you shortly. Thanks.

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
