Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This is the story of Chip.
Chip is a 4-year-old Labrador Retriever Hound mix who has truly been through so much in his past, and despite it all, remains the most loving and trusting little guy. Chip’s four years have seen a lot of hardship as he was rescued from Allendale, South Carolina, in an area known for having many dog fighting rings.
As you can see from his many scars, Chip is still healing from the trauma he endured prior to being rescued. He is dreaming sweet dreams of the forever family who will soon come by and give him the life he deserves. Chip is getting stronger each day with the best TLC and good nutrition, currently weighing 33 pounds.
Chip has many scars from a scary life and unimaginable hardship. But they do nothing to take away from his stunning face, adorable big brown eyes, and the cutest little crooked grin we have ever seen. Despite all that he has been through, Chip still has room in his heart for love and friendship.
He gets so excited to see anyone and everyone, happily running up to them to get scratches and love. He adores going on walks and playing fetch—soaking up every moment of puppyhood and making up for lost time, perhaps. He is such an angel who sees the good in everyone and spreads his joy and affection to all his friends, human and canine alike.
Chip would make an amazing addition to any family and would do great with kids and cats. Due to his past he prefers that his canine friends share the same calm energy around the house.
Chip cannot wait to find his home for good.
Chip is up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipped.
Chip has not yet been neutered. On a predetermined date within 6 months, the dog will be neutered at the expense of HFGDR. An additional check in the amount of $500 will be collected at the time of adoption and $400 will be returned to the adopter once the dog has been altered.
**Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org**
HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!

Additional adoption info
Are you interested in adopting one of our rescued puppies or dogs? Great! At Home for Good Dog Rescue, we strive to find you a perfect canine match. In order to do so, we need to learn a little bit about you and your lifestyle. We don’t mean to pry or be nosey, but we must ensure that our rescues are being placed in the best possible home or situation.
The following is important information regarding our adoption process, policies, and procedures. Please read each point over thoroughly before submitting your application.
1. All potential adopters must fill out an online adoption application. We have volunteers who work from home to process your application. Please be patient. The application process typically takes 2-5 days. Please fill out the application completely and honestly in order to ensure that your application will be completed in a timely manner.
2. Our volunteers will be contacting all of your references, including your Veterinarian (if applicable) and landlord (if applicable), so please notify them prior to submitting your application to speed up the process. Be sure to check your email, including Spam folder, for a response from Home for Good. All communications regarding your application must go through email.
3. Any pets currently in your household must be up to date with vaccines, including Rabies, and be seen for annual wellness visits. We DO NOT adopt dogs out to homes with un-altered animals.
4. All dogs placed by HFGD are to be house dogs. NO dog will be placed in a home where they will be outside-only dogs or farm dogs. HFGD reserves the right to schedule a home visit to ensure the safety of our rescues.
5. Approved applications are valid for 6 months. After 6 months, you must re-submit an application. This applies to previous adopters as well.
6. Please keep in mind that HFGD may have already received applications on the dog you are interested in. For this reason, the dog you are interested in may not be available once your application is finished being processed.
7. Upon approval and acceptance, you may schedule a Meet and Greet via email only with the dog of your choice, subject to availability. Meet and Greets will be scheduled in the order they are requested. If the dog you applied for is no longer available or is not the right match for your home, HFGD will work with you to find another dog that will be a great fit for you and your family.
8. Please be advised that your entire household, including any canines or caregivers, must be present for the Meet and Greet. HFGD does not allow adoptions as gifts or surprises. The entire household must meet the dog and be in agreement to bringing the dog into the home. NO EXCEPTIONS.
9. Approved Applications do not guarantee adoption. A meet and greet is the final step in the placement of our dogs. HFGD wants to ensure that it is the right fit for all humans and canines involved.
