Hi! My name is Chip and I’m a super happy goofball!
I love squeaky toys, car rides, snuggling and going for walks. If you let me, I would love to sleep in your bed at night and keep you nice and cozy, but I’m also comfortable in my kennel, even when you go away! Even though I am housetrained and very rarely chew on things I’m not supposed to, my foster parents don’t quite trust me in the house alone, but since my kennel is my safe space, I don’t mind!
I love all people, but I do get pretty excited when I first meet them and might jump. My foster parents have been working on this lots and I am learning quickly!
I absolutely love going for walks, but I’m not too sure about other dogs, so I need a pretty slow introduction. With some persistence, my foster parents hope I grow out of that! I have lived with other dogs and managed to get along well once we knew each other.
I’ve been working hard on my leash manners and have improved so much my foster parents say I’m almost perfect!
I’m not too sure what recall is, because my foster parents haven’t tested it on me, but I love to please, so I think with some practice I could be good at that too!
If you come meet me, I’m pretty sure you won’t want to go home without me!
I am a Manitoba Mutt Super Trooper.
*I came to Manitoba Mutts with a small skull fracture when I was 6 weeks old. My foster family has been helping me by normalizing touching my head and face. I am doing so great now, but to be safe, I may be better with older children (over 10 years old) who can understand. Chip can be very cuddly, but on his own terms.
Medical note:
Chip has mild hip dysplasia in his right hip. No surgical intervention is necessary at this point. For now, he will need pain management on days he is sore. Currently, Chip’s hips are feeling great and no medication is being used. Please ask our vetting team for more details.
