About Chip

Chip is a charming 3-month-old mix of English Pointer, Lab, and possibly some Beagle, currently enjoying foster care in Texas. He’s one of a litter found abandoned on the streets of South Texas, and while they were initially scared and unsure of their surroundings, Chip has blossomed with care. He’s been the perfect companion to a small toddler and two large dogs in his foster home, showing his adaptable and friendly nature. With an expected adult weight of 40-60 pounds, he's likely to be a medium-sized dog. Chip is still in that delightful puppy stage, eager to learn and explore. He deserves a loving home that will continue nurturing his social skills while showering him with affection, adventures, and snuggles. Biweekly transport is available, reaching areas including the East Coast, Pacific Northwest, Mountain Region, and Midwest—a perfect opportunity for Chip to find his forever home somewhere new!
