Story
Chip is a very handsome, very adventurous puppy. He’s mostly Pekingese with some Japanese Chin, but his personality is pure Frenchie all the way. Think miniature, fluffy French Bulldog energy. He’s got the spunk of a Frenchie and the heart of a devoted Pekingese. In a word, he’s unique.
I feel Chip would be happiest with a job. He'd be an excellent service dog for someone who needs a compact companion with a helpful attitude. The one caveat is that he cannot be exposed to warm/sunny conditions for long periods, so he would not be a good service dog for someone who is active, outdoors, during the day (unless he had a stroller to ride in). Due to his light coat, wider nose, and longer muzzle, chip is very heat-tolerant for a Peke (or a Chin) but caution is still warranted.
Chip thrives on his raw diet, and his care must be overseen by a holistic veterinarian who supports an approved, raw-meat-based diet and avoidance of elective vaccines (rabies is mandatory). We are committed to raising dogs in a more natural, health-span-focused way, and Chip’s adopter must share this philosophy. We’re happy to help connect adopters with appropriate professional resources.
If you’re adopting a pet from any rescue or breeder, we strongly encourage learning about the risks of traditional spay and neuter, as well as modern alternatives:

We’re seeking a San Diego–based adopter so Chip can remain part of our healthy pets program. Boarding and daycare options will be available to his adopter.

Important notes: Chip must remain in San Diego and have access to a secure yard. Dog-handling experience is required. He is high-energy, strong-willed, fearless, and incredibly fast. If a door is opened by someone who doesn't have control over Chip, he may take the opportunity to bolt through. He has no natural fear of larger dogs and has nearly been bitten because he doesn’t respond appropriately to warning signals such as growling or bared teeth. For his safety, his adopter must be willing to continue training so he doesn’t approach dangerous animals. Chip currently has decent recall and will avoid dogs he’s told to avoid, but long-term reliability will depend on building a strong guardian relationship and investing consistent time and leadership (under the guidance of a professional if needed).
In short, Chip is a little dog with a huge, joyful personality. He spends every waking moment celebrating life, which is why we joke that his full name is actually “Chip Chip Hooray.”
If you could use more love and light in your life, Chip may be the perfect partner.
