My story

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

Chipkoo is a delightful young pup who is still learning about the world, but is full of love, charm and personality.


Friendly, gentle, and curious, once Chipkoo learns to trust his human(s), he shows his playful side. He is a fast learner and understands boundaries and redirections – he observes first, then decides when he feels comfortable engaging. He enjoys exploring and interacting with toys without being demanding. He would do well at a house that showers him with love and affection and big, hearty meals.


He is super friendly with other dogs and playful at all times, but could also be an only dog as long as he gets plenty of attention. A fenced yard would be optimal, but he would be content with daily walks and plenty of play time. Smart and motivated to learn, Chipkoo loves good puzzle toys, peanut butter kongs, and chews. He knows to “sit”, “stay”, “come”, and “into the crate.” He is housebroken, with potty breaks every few hours (he’s still a puppy), and at night he sleeps peacefully for eight - nine hours.


Since he’s still a young fellow, he would require adult supervision around kids as he learns his manners around children but he is learning quickly! Chipkoo is highly food-motivated, approaching meals with deep enthusiasm. This makes him easy to engage and eager to learn when treats are involved.


Chipkoo is ready to charm your heart when he walks into your home with abundant love.


HISTORY

Chipkoo came into IAR as a stray who had been wandering in a neighborhood during the recent cold weather.


HEALTH

Chipkoo is underweight, but with healthy snacks and meals he is returning to a healthy weight. He is up to date on shots and will be neutered soon.

PHYSICAL

Chipkoo has a short reddish coat with white markings, beautiful hazel eyes and a sweet expression. He has long legs and tail, and ears that gently flop over.

Adoption Process

  • Fill out an adoption interest application HERE.

  • Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

  • You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

  • Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
