CHIP - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Tiny Dynamo! Tiny Chip is a 7.5 pound, 1 year old Chihuahua. This tiny boy was found in a field with a group of 6 dogs, including his friend, Honey, who is being fostered with him. He is a goofy, silly boy who constantly makes his foster family laugh. He is steadily learning the rules of the house and is following the leads of his foster sisters to pick up leash walking. In addition to being exceptionally handsome, this young boy is very intelligent and is quick to learn new skills! He has only been in a home for a couple of weeks, so is still working on his potty cues and schedule. Once he feels comfortable, he is so affectionate. He loves cuddles and scritches and will lick your face clean if you let him. He is also a little instigator, his family jokingly calls him Dennis the Menace. When asked how it is having Chip as a foster pup, his foster mom replied, "I can’t say enough about how fun it is to have him around!" While Honey and Chip are very close, he would likely be fine in a home without Honey, though he does love being part of a family pack. However, Honey does need Chip to feel safe, so we are hoping to place them together. Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and microchipped.
