Chip

About Chip

Chip is an adorable 1 1/2 year-old, 10 pound Yorkie mix. Chip's coat is coarse, which means low maintenance and low-to-no shed.

Chip is all terrier and an active and athletic little guy. He is quick and will dart for an open door, so his adoptive home needs to be prepared to manage a young dog and around outside doorways.

When Chip came to us, he was unsure but learned to trust his foster mother and other women quickly; at the same time, he is slower to warm up to men. Chip's new owner needs to be patient and give Chip time to decompress until he becomes more secure in his new home. Chip doesn't mind being crated and is good at entertaining himself with toys. Like most terriers, Chip will bark when there is something to bark about. He would be a great candidate for someone who wants to do clicker training and a good companion for a walker. Chip is a dog you need to keep busy or he will figure out how to do that himself!

The ideal home for Chip would be with someone who has experience dealing with unsure dogs and understands going slow and moving at Chip's pace, and wants to bond with a dog through training and enrichment activities. Chip will do best being the only dog in the home.

The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee.

WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD. The secure fence must be at least 4 feet with gaps no larger than 1 1/4 inch and attached to the home. An invisible fence, enclosed patio or terrace without grass, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing), it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions.

We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business days.

Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports.

Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing.
