Chip Needs a Foster or Adopter by Saturday, 12/6 to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin

Chip is currently in Arkansas and must have a foster or adopter by Saturday, December 6th to secure his spot on the transport truck to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. Without a home commitment, he will not be able to make the trip.

Meet Chip

Chip is a sweet male black pup, roughly 6 months old, who was picked up as a stray alongside his brother. His story is one of second chances. This Lab/Pointer mix (best guess) is incredibly affectionate, playful, and eager to bond with anyone willing to give him attention and love.

He may be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and enjoys playing with everyone. Chip is good with other dogs and, while he hasn’t been cat tested yet, he is likely to do well since he’s still young and adaptable. With consistency and patience, he will continue growing into a wonderful family companion.

Chip’s Info

Age: About 6 months

Gender: Male

Weight: About 30 lbs and growing

Breed: Lab/Pointer mix (best guess)

Neutered: Yes

Potty Trained: Not yet

Crate Trained: Not yet

Chip deserves a safe, loving home and the chance to finally feel secure and cared for. Could that home be yours?

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.
