Meet Chips Ahoy aka Chippy

Hi I’m Chips Ahoy, also known as Chippy! I’m a 6ish month old German shepherd mix, who got all the German shepherd genes except the size! I’m a short little dude, I barely come up to my foster mom’s knee, but I’m full of energy and spunk!  My favorite hobbies are exploring the yard with my foster brother, testing the durability of everything with my teeth, and laying in the toy bin.  My icks are door frames, loud noises and being an only child.  I’m still a little scared of the big wide world, so I do best with slow intros and a doggy sibling to help me be my most confident self!  I like to be around people, but I’ll happily sleep in my crate all night and chill in there while my people are out. I’m potty trained, and I’m learning new tricks every day! I’m very smart and super food motivated and I’d love a family who will keep me busy!  I’m good with kids above the toddler years, and I love to play with cats but they don’t always love to play back. I need a home with another doggy sibling who doesn’t mind me being their shadow.

Adoption Process
Applicants must fill out an application at www.adoptapitrescue.org/apply. We screen all applications, with approved applicants passing a vet and landlord check. All pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on all vaccinations and on year-round heartworm preventative. Non-homeowners must have permission from their landlord to have a dog. Once approved, we schedule a home visit, where an adoption representative takes the dog to the adopter's home to see if the dog is a good fit for the family and other pets, as well as verify the home is a safe environment for the dog. If everyone feels the dog is a good fit, a contract is signed, adoption fee is paid, and the family takes possession of the dog, unless other arrangements are made. Typical adoption fees are $175 for adult dogs and $200 for puppies. We reserve the right to charge different fees for "designer" breeds. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm tested, and on heartworm preventative at the time of adoption. All dogs have been examined by our veterinarian and given a clean bill of health at the time of adoption.
