About Chip

Meet Chip, a delightful 11-year-old beige Shih Tzu-Lhasa Apso mix. This affectionate companion thrives on human interaction and is happiest cuddled up next to you or enjoying leisurely walks on leash. Chip would do best in an adult-only or teenage home where he can get all the attention he craves. Despite having a heart murmur, some vision impairment, and partial hearing loss, he radiates love and gentle companionship. Chip requires regular grooming to keep his low-shedding coat in top shape. He enjoys the company of other dogs but prefers a quieter environment, so a home without young children is ideal. His adoption fee is sponsored, making it easier for you to bring this sweet boy home.
