About Chip

Meet Chip, an adorable 8-month-old baby boy weighing in at 34 lbs. This spunky Pit Bull Terrier mix has a cheerful personality and a gentle demeanor that makes him stand out. He was found abandoned with his brother, Dale, at the Ithaca Dog Park and has been waiting for a forever home ever since. Chip is the calmer half of the duo, ready to learn and play at his own pace. If you bring along a squeaky toy or treat, he’ll be your biggest fan. He does best in homes where introductions to other dogs can be carefully managed, so the adoption team will set up a meet-and-greet with any resident pups to see how they interact. For anyone interested in adding a loving companion to their life, Chip is ready for cuddles and fun. He welcomes you to the SPCA of Tompkins County, open Wednesday-Sunday from 12:00-4:30 PM (and Thursdays until 6:30 PM). Why wait? Come meet this charming little guy!
