About Chip

Little Chip is a remarkable survivor. Rescued from a roadside, he was found in dire need of help, requiring hospitalization and a blood transfusion. Thankfully, his spirit shone through. Now, in his foster home in Guilford, CT, he thrives alongside two larger dogs, which he adores. Chip is a tiny fellow at just nine pounds and has quickly picked up on house training. His short coat and striking Merle coloring make him quite the charming companion. Once he's old enough, he will be neutered at the rescue's expense. Chip gets along well with dogs and is ready to fill your home with love and laughter. Sorry, we do not adopt to Massachusetts or Rhode Island. Click apply to start the adoption process.
