MEET THE REAL CHEWIE

Big. Fluffy. Gentle.
And certain everyone is a friend.

Our family rescued Chewie from AARCS in Calgary on 31 March 2020. Back then he was called Chewbacca — because, well, just look at him.

No one knew much about where he had come from, but Chewie arrived with lovely manners, a huge heart and a rather enthusiastic approach to making friends.

“If it has legs, wings, paws, claws — or a tail — Chewie would like to say hello.”
