Meet Chip, the golden goofball and your soon-to-be favorite companion! 🎉 This big, bouncy mixed-breed mystery mutt has captured hearts with his delightful charm—he’s got the heart of a playful puppy and the face of a beloved grandpa. ❤️ Found wandering the streets of Georgia, Chip was once a skinny soul with some tough battles ahead of him, including a heartworm diagnosis. But this comeback king played the long game and tackled heartworms like a champ! Now he’s living his best life up north while he looks for that perfect forever couch (hint, hint: it could be yours!). Chip is currently on a "Mission: Operation Get Chunky" because at 84 pounds, he’s got the body of a linebacker and the metabolism of a teenage athlete—you know, full of energy! 🏃‍♂️ Picture this: luscious golden locks, soulful eyes, and an adorable expression that says, 'I just woke up from a nap.' His personality? It’s all zoomies, tail wags, and epic belly flops! This boy knows how to keep things lively! As a social butterfly 🦋, he thrives when meeting other dogs out and about, making pals along his journey, but he prefers starring solo on his home stage. He’s fantastic with kids aged 12 and up, is leash-savvy, and can even show off some commands; he's smart—just on his own schedule! 🤔 Chip is guaranteed to bring laughs with his goofy antics, ridiculous sleeping positions, and those dramatic sighs of disappointment when he doesn’t get his way. Trust me, you’ll never have a dull moment with this handsome boy around! Now, let’s talk about dinner time! Chip isn’t a huge fan of sharing his food or treats. 😅 There’s nothing wrong with wanting your personal space during snack time, right? He’s working on his polite mealtime manners, and with a little patience, he’ll be a star in no time. Here’s the scoop—his adoption fee is only $100, aiding in his medical care and preparations for adoption. Important note: Chip, like all animals in our care, is spayed/neutered and up to date with age-appropriate vaccinations. His behavioral assessments give insight into his personality, though remember, stress can make even the best of pups act a little shy. If you’re ready to welcome Chip into your family, he would absolutely love to meet you! But remember, you **must apply through the Buddy App** to kickstart your adoption journey. Adopters from out of state are always welcome to apply—let’s make Chip’s dreams come true! 🏠💖
