Chip is ready to trade his tie-out for a forever home!

Chip is an adorable terrier mix with a happy personality, a curious nature, and plenty of love to give. Before coming into rescue, Chip lived with a family who kept him on a tie-out in their front yard. Those days are behind him now, and this sweet little guy is ready to discover just how wonderful life can be as a beloved member of a family.

Like a typical terrier, Chip is bright, curious, playful, and full of personality. Terriers tend to enjoy being part of whatever their people are doing, and Chip is no exception. He loves people and greets everyone he meets with a friendly, happy attitude.

Chip is already leash trained and crate trained, and he does very well riding in the car, making him a great little companion for walks, outings, road trips, and everyday adventures. Most of all, he simply enjoys being around people and getting the attention and affection he deserves. And, Chip is ready to go!
