Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bonded Pair - ChipHoney is an approximately 1.5 year-old, 18 pound best of all breeds, AKA a mutt. Sweet Honey was found in a field with a group of 6 pups, including her friend, Chip.  Honey is an extraordinarily sweet dog. She is so affectionate, she seeks out physical contact as much as possible, preferably on your lap or chest. When she’s feeling playful, she loves to play fetch or play with squeaky toys. When it comes to any activity, she follows Chip's lead. Otherwise, she’s cuddled up with her humans. Honey came to SVPP very shut down, but once we placed her with Chip, she followed his lead and started to relax and trust. Ideally, she will be adopted with Chip. His presence and example of curiosity allows her to feel safe and be curious too. If he’s not around, she hides and can be timid. Under our veterinarian's guidance, Honey started anti-anxiety medication a few months ago and it has helped her tremendously. Adopter will need to continue this medication and work with their veterinary partner to monitor Honey's medication needs. Unexpected movements and loud noises may scare them, so she and Chip would do best in a home with no young children or other dogs unless well monitored.  Do you have the time and patience to help them continue to learn what it feels like to be safe, relaxed and loved? Please fill out an application today! Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and microchipped.   Adoption fees for dogs: http://www.svpetproject.org/info/adoption Stay up-to-date on what our dogs are up to by following us on Facebook!  https://www.facebook.com/svpetprojectVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 14, 2024, 1:09 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bonded Pair - HoneyChip is a 9 pound, 2 year old Chihuahua with a big personality. This tiny boy was found in a field with a group of 6 dogs, including his friend, Honey, who is being fostered with him. He is a goofy, silly boy who constantly makes his foster family laugh. In addition to being exceptionally handsome, Chip is very intelligent and is quick to learn new skills.  Once he feels comfortable, he is so affectionate. He loves cuddles and scritches and will lick your face clean if you let him. He is also a little instigator, his family jokingly calls him Dennis the Menace. When asked how it is having Chip as a foster pup, his foster mom replied, "I can’t say enough about how fun it is to have him around!" Honey and Chip are very close and help each other to be brave, so we are hoping to place them together. They love to lay in the sun and lounge around in their foster Mom's office when she is working from home. Unexpected movements and loud noises may scare them, so they would do best in a home with no young children or other dogs unless well monitored.  Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and microchipped.   Adoption fees for dogs: http://www.svpetproject.org/info/adoption Stay up-to-date on what our dogs are up to by following us on Facebook!  https://www.facebook.com/svpetproject Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 14, 2024, 1:09 pm
