Story
Chip is a sweet, handsome young Dane who is still figuring out this whole big, busy world, and he’s looking for someone patient enough to help him find his confidence along the way. He is super polite (even a little bashful) when meeting new people, and he needs some time to settle into a new home before his full personality comes shining through. As he gets more comfortable, Chip's goofy, playful nature is sure to win out over that initial shyness.
This boy just LOVES other dogs and would really enjoy having a confident canine companion to help show him the ropes. He’s still learning appropriate doggy manners, though. Chip came into rescue before being neutered, and he's smitten with his Dane foster sister (think: professional-level “excuse me, are you available for a hump?” enthusiast), so he needs another dog who can appropriately set boundaries and humans who will help him learn when enough is enough.
Chip would benefit from continued work on:
🐾 Leash manners - he’s a puller and isn't afraid to go full sploot if he feels it's necessary
🐾 Basic commands and obedience
🐾 Building confidence around new people, dogs, and places
🐾 Learning appropriate boundaries and how to respect another dog’s limits
🐾 Becoming more comfortable around men
The good news? Chip is crate trained, rarely barks, and is calm and affectionate with his people. He enjoys cuddling, but as a young Dane with lots to do - he prefers his cuddle sessions in reasonable, carefully rationed doses. 😆 Best of all, Chip is all set for his neuter surgery in late October! He will be ready to meet his new family when he's all healed up in early November.
Chip is also a fan of car rides with the windows down. Longer rides can make him a little anxious, but he’s happy with feeling the wind in his hair on shorter adventures. And fair warning: Chip is a wonderfully enthusiastic messy eater, so his future family may want to keep a mop nearby.
Chip isn’t looking for someone expecting a perfectly polished Dane on day one. He needs someone willing to give him time, guidance, consistency, and a little patience while he learns that the world can be a pretty great place. With the right people (and preferably a well-mannered dog to help teach him the ropes), this sweet fella has so much potential to blossom. ❤️
