Hi, my name is Chips Ahoy and I am from Tennessee!

Hi there! I'm Chips Ahoy - though my foster family just calls me Chip or Chippy. I traveled all the way from Tennessee to Minnesota, and honestly? I love it here. I've made so many new friends - humans, dogs, and cats - and I love them all equally. I even met a bearded dragon (she was kind of weird, but I was into it). I'm a super active guy who loves to run, play, and explore, but don't worry - when I finally wear myself out, I will absolutely find you and demand a snuggle.

From Chip's Dog Foster Brothers:
Chip is pretty cool for a little dude. He is way smaller than us, but nobody told him that - he follows us everywhere and keeps up just fine. He's got serious energy, which we respect. He's going to do best in a home where someone (human or canine) is ready to match his enthusiasm and really play with him. He's earned our approval.

From Chip's Cat Foster Brothers:
Puppies. Ugh. That said, Chip is... tolerable. When he gets wound up he'll occasionally try to involve us in his chaos, but one firm swat and he gets the message and moves on. No hard feelings. We think he could absolutely live with cats - he's not malicious, just enthusiastic. Just make sure the cats in his new home have some high ground or a puppy-free zone to retreat to when the zoomies hit.

From Chip's Foster Parents:
Where do we even start with this guy? Chip is one of the most confident, well-rounded puppies we have ever fostered. On day one, he tackled our steep, narrow staircase without a single hesitation - something that takes most dogs days to work up to. He plays fearlessly with our big dogs, loves everyone he meets, and has never once mouthed a human, which is genuinely remarkable for a puppy his age. He's got tons of energy but is beautifully balanced - he'll run and play hard, then happily curl up independently when he's tired. He's working on potty training and is already making great progress; he's been reliably using potty pads overnight in his room. Smart, sweet, confident, and cuddly - whoever adopts Chip is getting a true gem.
