Chip Skylark's Story

Chip Skylark is a gentle and loving 1 year old, 10 lb Chihuahua mix. This sweet boy sadly came from a home where his owners didn’t provide the basic care of fixing their dogs, which led to an accidental litter of four puppies. With six dogs living in an apartment that only allowed two, they surrendered the entire litter to Shelter Hope. When Chip first arrived to Shelter Hope, he was understandably very shut down. His whole world was turned upside down. Now that he’s had some time to settle in and decompress, he’s become quite friendly and curious! Calm, gentle, and quiet, Chip is an introverted but loving and affectionate little dog. Once he warms up, he is super fun and playful too! He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys spending time with our staff! Now neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, Chip Skylark is ready to find his forever home! —------------- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers. Step 1) Application Step 2) Phone Interview Step 3) Appointment Shelter Hope is operating by appointment only. Be ready to adopt: If selected, our rescue counselor will contact you to schedule a phone interview. Please monitor your email and spam folder for our message. Adoptions can happen quickly so be prepared for our call, only apply for dogs that every family member in the home wants, and wait to apply until you return from your vacation. More on our process: Due to high demand, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we may not reach out if we have already approved a family to adopt. The process can take several days. Thank you for your patience!
