family that wanted to adopt him but after only a short time, he jumped out of the man's arms, fracturing his front leg. When his broken leg required expensive surgery and a lengthy recovery, the family returned Chip to Emmy's Hope Rescue. Little Chip made a complete recovery and you would never know he had leg surgery. He was soon adopted by a second family and settled in nicely with another little dog, that became his playmate and companion. But just shy of a year, Chip's human mama got a new job that required long hours and travel, so again Chip was returned to Emmy's Hope. Shortly after being returned to the Rescue, Chip began favoring and licking the leg that he had broken as a puppy. He was taken back to the vet that performed the surgery and it was determined that he was allergic to the metal implants that were used to repair his fracture. The implants in Chip's right leg were removed and he is back to normal activity again. Chip is shy and cautious in new situations and when he first meets a unknown human. He is well behaved and good in the house and does well with a buddy / companion dog. He plays well with other small dogs, likes cats and loves to be with his special humans. Chip has waited a long time to find his special FOREVER family. Estimated birth date: August 2015 Approximate weight: 13 lbs. If you would like to meet Chip, please call or text Stephanie at 281-622-6549. *** ADOPTION CRITERIA *** YOU MUST: 1. Live in the Houston area (no more than an hour's drive away). 2. Be 21 years or older. 3. Have a fenced yard. 4. Have at least 2 years of good vet history, with current and / or past pets, including: annual Rabies and DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Parainfluenza) vaccinations, annual heart worm test and using a monthly heartworm preventative.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
