Meet Chip: A Walking Fashion Icon with a Bright Future

Chip is a 4 month old, 18 pound Pointer mix boy with a gorgeous white coat adorned with adorable spots along with black and tan highlights. This walking fashion icon is as handsome as he is smart, and he's ready to grow into the amazing companion he's meant to be!

All Puppy, All the Time
Chip is all puppy and is learning that adjusting his puppy instincts brings rewards. He's very bright and picks up things very quickly, which makes training sessions exciting and productive. He's food motivated, which is helping tremendously with his training and showing just how eager he is to learn and please.

Training and House Manners
Chip is house trained and crate trained, and going in the crate actually helps him calm down, play with his toys, and take a nap. He understands his safe space and uses it well, showing a level of self awareness that speaks to his intelligence.

Working Dog Instincts
Chip has working dog instincts that lead him to higher levels of curiosity and interaction than are always comfortable. He's inquisitive, alert, and deeply engaged with the world around him, which is a wonderful quality that simply needs proper channeling and guidance. A yard to run in and burn off energy would be a dream for this active, curious boy!

Loving and Affectionate
When Chip has time to relax and settle, he shows his loving and affectionate side. He's a sweet boy who is learning to balance his natural instincts with the calm, connected moments that make the bond between dog and person so special.

Best Home Fit
Chip would benefit from calm confidence and structured training and guidelines to be his best self. He needs someone who understands working dog instincts, appreciates his brightness, and is committed to giving him the structure, exercise, and guidance he needs to flourish. A yard to run in would be ideal!

If you're looking for a handsome, bright, loving boy who will reward your patience and training with loyalty and joy, Chip is waiting to meet you! Apply today!

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
