Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Introducing Chip! Chip is 15lbs of full happiness. Chip is definitely an inside boy, but he enjoys watching squirrels outside, chasing the ball and playing fetch, chewing on his toys and playing with other dogs. He is dog friendly, people friendly and kid friendly with proper introductions.
Chip would need a parent who works from home or is retired as he suffers anxiety. His foster parents take him to work with them each day.
He is a little over 18 months old, so he still has a puppy playful nature, but he also enjoys his nap times and puts himself in bed around 8pm every night and sleeps all night. He will even cover himself up if he is cold. If you enjoy cuddling, he does too! If you hold him long enough, he will fall asleep in your arms. Chip is house trained but still needs to be taken outside regularly, as he is learning to alert that he needs to potty. He knows sit and is working on stay. And his most unique feature is his tail wags in circles when he is really happy! Chip loves car rides and will be your companion on any excursion you want to take. He does well at outside dining areas. Chip would do best with someone that can work from home or take him with them, as he is still learning that his human will return. Everyone that meets him falls in love with this precious boy. Chip is neutered and ready for his very own family.
Chip is a distemper survivor and did present with mild seizures shortly after coming to Chewy's Hope. He is on one medication (Keppra) and some holistic supplements. He has not had any more seizures after being put on medication and vet says there's a chance he may not always have to be on Keppra.
