My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Most chips are salty, but our Chips is as sweet as they come!! On the shy side, Chips wants nothing more than reassurance and cuddles from his trusted humans. Here’ what staff and volunteers have said:

“I recently met sweet Chips and took him to a play yard. He stayed close to me the whole time, and when I sat down, he put his front feet up on the bench next to me and leaned in for pets. He tucked his nose under my arm, and if I would stop petting him, he would gently nudge me. Chips is incredibly gentle and sweet and will thrive with a loving, patient family.”

“Chips and I walked to the park- he’s really made some awesome progress from when I first handled him. He was eager to get out of his kennel. When we got to the park I sat down for a minute and he solicited affection. He also walked very politely on leash.”

“Today Chips walked very well to the park and accepted a lot of touch, pets, and scratches. He is a lovely dog and will make a nice companion.”

Chips shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been independent when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He would likely benefit from having a calm, confident doggy friend to show him the ropes. If you’re looking for a loving companion and can help Chips continue to build confidence, please ask to meet him today!!
