Chip is a handsome, chatty male German Shepherd mix around 6.5 years of age. Chip was originally with our rescue in 2019 as a puppy and was adopted by a young couple. Unfortunately, they returned Chip 6 years later due to life changes and Chip is now looking for his next fur-ever.
Chip is a talkative boy who likes to channel his inner hound to sing you the song of his people. He is pretty sure he is speaking English and the humans are just not on his level. Chip was not socialized much outside of his home unfortunately so he can be a bit reserved meeting new people but he was raised with children and warms up to them much quicker. His current BFF is a teenager who he happily shadows during their chores - apparently sassy dogs and teens speak the same language.
Chip has lived with other dogs his whole life but is a total trouble-maker during play groups or high energy moments. He is a perpetual annoying little brother who likes to chew on his fur-siblings legs, collars, and ears. Most other dogs don't appreciate that and Chip is not great at reading the cues so he either requires very patient siblings or a human to remind him to stop pestering. Chip has never lived with cats to our knowledge and is not currently cat tested.
Chip is a forever puppy who is looking for a new home to adventure with - he is seeking long talks, jaunts through the woods, and butt scratches.
Ideal Home
Chip is looking for a home that understands his "forever puppy" energy. While he was raised with children and warms up to them quickly, he can be reserved with new adult people. He has lived with other dogs, but he can be a bit of a pest, so he would do best with very patient canine companions or a home where his humans can help redirect his energy. Chip has not been tested with cats.
Ongoing Health
Chip is generally healthy.
Training & Support
Chip can be a bit reserved with new people and is still learning appropriate play with other dogs. He needs gentle redirection to remind him to stop pestering other pets. He is eager to please his humans, especially if there are long talks and butt scratches involved!
