Spayed or Neutered,

Story

If you love hounds with big hearts and curious minds, Chip might be your perfect match. This handsome boy is incredibly sweet and adores people, gentle pets, and exploring the world around him. Chip has made great progress learning indoor life — he rarely barks, is comfortable in his crate, and is quickly improving on leash. He’s playful, goofy, and very much a puppy in a big body, with endless (and endearing) curiosity. Sniffing, exploring, and checking out new things are his favorite hobbies, so enrichment and supervision will keep him happy. Chip is looking for a patient, loving home that understands young hound energy and is ready to help him continue building confidence and independence. If you’re searching for a sweet, loyal companion with big-hearted charm, Chip is ready to meet you! Chip is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. You can meet him daily at the shelter between 12-6pm. For more information, email adoptions@caspca.org

Mirabella is AWESOME! She's an athletic and adventurous girl who knows how to have fun (we know the red herding ball hates to see Mirabella coming)!
