About Chip

Chip is a playful and happy little guy with an outgoing personality. Always up for a game of fetch, he enjoys running around the yard or playing indoors. This young Chihuahua, just under 2 years old, thrives on daily exercise and loves to return the ball you throw. When he's not fetching, Chip is content to chew on Nylabones or hang out for some belly rubs. He's a quiet dog, except for the occasional barking during playtime. Having been socialized with dogs of all sizes, Chip gets along well with them and would also be fine as an only dog, soaking up all the attention. He has been fostered around horses and has lived with adult females and children over eight. Chip is fully house trained and crate trained, meaning he’s well-behaved and doesn’t get into things he shouldn’t. His coat is easy to groom, requiring just the occasional bath and brushing. Chip is a purebred Chihuahua, sporting adorable ears that have three different looks: down, up, and one of each! His color is a light cream with a few orange spots and some freckles on his ears. At his ideal weight, he should remain around 7.5-8.0 pounds. This charming little guy is available for adoption now, and if you’re interested in meeting him, submit an application at K9LifeLine.com.
