Chipper's Story

Apply to Adopt Me!<br/><br/>Meet the most handsome guy in town, Chipper also known as Chippy! He’s an approx. 12-13-year-old, 10-lb. black and white, long-haired chihuahua mix. But he certainly acts younger! Chippy had a rough start to life, but with love, care and understanding he has come a long way. When he first came into the rescue, he was very scared, unsure, and not trusting of people. He will still growl sometimes when he is unsure but has specific cues he gives to let you know he feels safe and it’s okay to pet him. He enjoys being cuddled and sitting with you on the couch from time to time, but he really prefers his personal space. He absolutely loves playing with squeaky toys, they’re his favorite! He gets along well with his fur siblings, he plays with them here and there, but generally doesn’t have much interest in them. He loves to go on walks, he’s fully house trained and sits quietly riding in the car. Chippy sleeps in his foster parents bedroom at night in his big comfy bed. Chippy is still learning that people can be trusted, and that he can be loved and feel comfort where he lives. He’s beginning to realize life is good and is becoming a bouncy boy who gets excited when you come home or when you’re ready to take him for a walk. He’s an absolutely adorable little boy. The more love you give this little guy the more he responds. He can't wait to find a loving home that will help him live his happiest life. Chipper needs an all-adult home without children (and with no visiting children). He’ll need someone who has chihuahua experience, who understands he may always be timid at times, and won't be discouraged or intimidated by his independant, and sometimes growly, demeanor.<br/><br/>If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Chipper, please complete an app and tell us more about you.
