Chip is a 7-month-old shepherd mix with a red-and-white coat. He weighs about 35 pounds and tends to be more reserved in new situations, but he’s quietly gentle and responds well to patient handling. Chip gets along well with other dogs but finds cats stressful, and he’s still figuring out if kids are his thing. Once he trusts you, Chip becomes affectionate and loves to play with toys, always looking to be near his people. He is motivated by treats and quick to pick up new things, making training a good way for you both to connect. Chip walks easily on a leash and stays by your side, though he could use a steady routine and soft encouragement to build his confidence. With time and reassurance, you’ll see his sweet loyalty shine through. Click apply to start the adoption process.
