He wants to be near you—especially during storms or fireworks—but hes still working on leaning into the love.<br/><br/>Homebody: Hes most relaxed when his human is home and he has a "cave" to retreat to (think walk-in showers, cubbies, or a covered crate).<br/><br/>Pack Needs: Hes great with other dogs and would love a playful canine sibling to help him continue to brave the world.<br/><br/>The Ideal Match:<br/><br/>Chipper needs a calm, confident leader who accepts him exactly where he is today.

Pet Tender Angels Rescue and Rehabilition's Adoption Policy
We require an application or phone interview(if you can not get on a computer) before making an appointment to come visit the shelter. The application does not obligate you to anything but gives us a little better information as to what would be a good match for you and provides us with contact information in the event of a change to appointment. Once you have met the dog and want to pursue...we will do a wellness visit with the dog at our vet and schedule a homevisit where we will bring the dog to your home to meet any other pets in the home and to see how the dog does in your environment to give you better insite into what you will be working with. If the homevisit goes well, the adoption is finalized.
