This handsome, 65lbs, guy has had a rough start but has made great progress with our staff! Chip spent several months as a stray at Intel evading any attempts to be caught. He finally made his way to the City Shelter, where we were able to bring Chip into our care. Our staff spent several months working with Chip, getting him used to people and teaching him how to walk on a leash. Chip spent several months in a foster home where he made huge strides. Chip LOVES other dogs, cats and kids. We would prefer he go to a home with another dog to help him feel confident, but it is not necessary. Chip is a playful, goofy pup, who loves chew toys, balls, and rough housing. Chip had been doing well with potty-training and crate training. Chip needs a secure fence that is no lower then 6ft tall, cinderblock or wood preferred over chain-link as he is very curious about his surroundings.
Chip is at our Main Ranch location! Watermelon Mountain Ranch (Across from Cleveland High School) 3251 Westphalia Blvd. NE Rio Rancho, NM 87144 505-221-2359
Wed-Sun 11am-4pm (adoptions and tours until 3pm)

More about this shelter
Our shelter had it's beginnings in the mid 90's and formally became a nonprofit organization in 2001. The dream of Lee and Sophia DiClemente has grown to be the largest no-kill animal shelter in New Mexico. Lee passed in 2010, but Sophia carries on with the support of a small staff, a large number of volunteers, and numerous donors - large and small.
