About Chip

Chip is ready for a fresh start and he's such a great pup! This joyful Cattle Dog mix is back with us through no fault of his own, and we're eager to find him the perfect forever home. At just one year old, Chip has already shown himself to be a loving and energetic companion. Previously, he thrived in a home with twin toddlers and a five-year-old, demonstrating his playful nature and potty training skills. He adored playing with the older child and was affectionate with everyone. However, the unpredictability of toddlers made them a bit overwhelming for him. His family decided that a quieter environment without young children would suit him better. Chip is fantastic with other dogs and loves people, making him a great addition to a household with older children or adults who can give him the attention and love he craves. To top it off, his adoption fee is fully sponsored with an approved application. There’s a real believer out there who thinks Chip is special, and he just needs someone to give him a chance. Don’t let him miss out on the love and stability he deserves. Let’s find him that perfect home! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
