Hi, I’m Chip! I’m a 7-month-old shepherd mix weighing about 35 pounds, and I’m a sweet, gentle guy who just needs a little time to feel comfortable. I get along well with other dogs, but cats make me nervous, and I’m still figuring out how I feel about kids. Once I warm up, I’m affectionate, playful with toys, and love being close to my people.
I’m treat motivated and eager to learn, which makes training a great way for us to bond. I walk nicely beside you on a leash and am well behaved, just a bit shy at first. With patience and kindness, I’ll blossom into a loyal companion who’s happiest right by your side.
