About Chips

Chips is an active and sweet mixed breed who thrives on playtime with his furry friends and toys. He's completed a 3-month board and train program, which means he's already well on his way to being the perfect walking or hiking buddy. Daily hikes energize him, and a securely fenced yard will be essential for his well-being. Chips does well with other dogs and will not be suited for homes with children under 8 years old, so he might be best for an adult-focused household. Living in Houston, Texas, Chips is now ready to find a loving forever home where adventure awaits. With an adoption fee of $400, his new family will ensure he's been spayed/neutered and is up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies and distemper. Ready to welcome Chips into your home?
