About Chips

Chips is a lively and affectionate Heinz 57 mixed breed who thrives in active environments. Residing currently in foster care in Houston, Texas, he's looking for a home where he can run, play, and enjoy outdoor adventures. Chips has recently completed a three-month board and train program focused on leash training, making him a well-behaved companion ready for daily hikes and long walks. At just around 35 lbs, he has a charming golden coat that perfectly suits his vibrant personality. This young male dog does wonderfully with other dogs and is house trained. However, he is not suited for homes with children under eight years old. In addition to his charm and energy, Chips has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccinations, and requires a securely fenced yard to roam safely. With an adoption fee of $400—which covers all his medical needs—Chips is eager to find his forever home. Taking care of him means embracing the joy and companionship he brings.
