Story
Meet Chip!
Hello there, my name is Chip. I'm a sweet, handsome little golden oldie, and I weigh just a little over 10 pounds. I had a super loving human and fur sibling, but my mama passed away, and not long after, my bff passed away, too. I've been through a lot in the last couple of months, but now I'm ready to find my forever home, where I will be loved for who I am. I get along with other dogs, but sometimes I don't like sharing my human's lap with other fur friends. Having a friend or two in my new home wouldn't be bad, but I'd rather stop there. I also met a cat at the vet's office, and I was fine with it, but I haven't lived in a house with one since I've been at Albert's. I get along well with every human I meet, but because I can't see or hear too well anymore, I think I probably shouldn't live with smaller kiddos. I'm at the point in my life where I like calm and quiet. I'm trained to use pee pads, and foster mom is in the process of helping me learn that I should go outside to do my business. Since my human was sick for a while, going outside wasn't a thing, so I just need to have my old memory refreshed.
I don't have any teeth left, so you'll catch my tongue hanging out of my mouth often, which just gives me a bit of character. I have early kidney disease, so I eat special food for that. Sometimes I like the wet kind, and sometimes I like the kibble soaked in water. I feel like a super special boy when I want to canned kind because foster mom feeds me with a spoon, so it's easier for me to eat. I enjoy going for short walks, but since it's been a while since my human could take me for them, it's not necessary, and now they are quite short. My little legs get weaker quicker now since I'm an old man, so I take some medicine to help my arthritic joints. Sometimes I'll need some help going up a few steps, and sometimes I won't, but you'll need to be able to pick me up if I do. When foster mom is at work and at bedtime, she puts me in a pack-n-play so no one bothers me while I sleep the day away. It's kind of like a kennel, but a lot more room, and I don't mind it too much. I'm ready to find my retirement home for my golden years, and I hope you are the perfect person for me!
*Chip is being fostered in the Green Bay area.
