My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chip earned this name for two reasons: he's a 10 pound chi, like a chip of wood, i.e. a small part of a big dog, and also he's amazingly chipper at all times, taking off from the front stoop like a long jumper and sort of hopping around on his wobbly back legs at quite a rate of speed.
He gets along fine with other dogs, though a little awkward. He can be a little shy and, as with many of them, he'll need a little understanding as he settles in to his new home on his time.
Though he follows his foster mom around constantly, his idea of affection seems to be head butts in the morning and occasionally sitting next to her on the couch. He's still getting used to the idea of being loved.
We think that he's about 10-years-old and he is 10 lbs. He is hearing impaired but has adjusted fine to this.
Chip is very happy to meet another day and we are thrilled to have him in our care. He will do well in a mellow, adult home where he is surrounded by understanding and lots and lots of love.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

To adopt a dog from Tails of Gray, you must:

1. Complete an online application for adoption.
2. Meet your prospective pet. If your application to adopt is approved, our adoption coordinators will schedule a meet and greet with you and the senior dog you are applying to adopt.
3. Complete a home visit. If you (and your family) and the dog are a good match for each other, a home visit is then scheduled and completed.
4. Finalize the adoption. After a home visit is complete, the adoption can be finalized and a new happy tail can be told!

The adoption fee is $200

More about this rescue

Tails of Gray is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue organization that offers a safe and loving sanctuary for senior dogs regardless of breed, health or ease of placement. Our goal is to prevent needless euthanasia through the offering of shelter, adoption, foster, hospice and education.
All Tails of Gray senior dogs are spayed and neutered, microchipped and receive appropriate veterinary care and treatment.
Tails of Gray welcomes the unwanted and heals the sick. Those precious senior dogs who cannot be healed will spend their final days in a comfortable environment where they experience unconditional love, some for the first time.
