Chipper: Your Devoted Shadow

Apply for Chipper If You:

• Are home most of the day and want a loyal, affectionate companion by your side.

• Have a calm home with older children (12+) or adults who appreciate a gentle giant.

• Have a securely fenced yard and enjoy daily walks and outdoor relaxation.

• Can provide patience, reassurance, and consistent routines to help manage his anxiety.

Personality

• Chipper is a big, sweet lovebug who forms deep bonds with his people. Once you’ve earned his trust, you’ve got a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to be wherever you are.

• He’s a gentle giant with a unique approach to hugs! Chipper loves placing his front paws on your shoulders to get face-to-face for some affection. It’s adorable, but he’s still learning that four paws on the floor make for better greetings.

• Chipper is a wonderful travel buddy! He loves car rides, settles calmly in the back seat, and happily tags along for school drop-offs, pickups, and other adventures.

• With moderate energy, Chipper enjoys long walks, lounging outside, and occasional bursts of puppy playfulness. A good morning walk usually sets him up for a relaxed day of couch companionship.

• He’s a sentimental collector! When his people leave, Chipper sometimes gathers items carrying their scent into a little pile. It’s his way of finding comfort, though he does well in his crate when home alone for reasonable periods.

• Chipper is friendly and relaxed when meeting people and dogs on walks, but visitors entering his home may receive a vocal welcome. He can be protective and anxious in his own space, so calm introductions and reassurance help him settle. He could enjoy one gentle canine companion or be perfectly happy as your one-and-only.

• This affectionate fellow thrives on companionship, belly rubs, toys, and predictable routines. He has a history of anxiety and has prescriptions which help with big transitions. He’ll benefit from an adopter who understands his sensitivities and works with a veterinarian to support his continued comfort.
