Chip

Chip is a small sized staffy who was rescued from a rural pound in NSW. He was marked as timid and afraid on the kennels but we've really seen him blossom into an affectionate and joyful dog in our care.

Chip is looking for a kind hearted human who will provide him with endless cuddles, regular walks and some training to help him continue to develop his confidence and social skills.

When it comes to play time, Chip is an exuberant and energetic guy who loves to be active and have a zoom.

Chip will fit nicely in a home with a non-reactive doggy friend to play with as he can get vocal when excited and this can be off-putting for some dogs but he is a happy playful dude and has been getting along well with the other dogs in foster care.

In between activities he loves to snooze on the couch with his head on your lap and at night will curl up on the end of your bed.. or in your arms if you'll let him.

Chip is a good dog who wants to please but hasn't been given the right opportunities to learn proper ettiquette. He does walk well on lead though and has decent recall around the house (off lead outside is a different story). He also tries hard to modify his own behaviour when we correct him, so we feel he will be a fast learner with ongoing training.

Chip does best with slow introductions to new people and places. Due to his past experiences he can become anxious of strange people and situations and will bark if he feels unsafe but turns into a wagging, affectionate puppy when he has made friends.

We feel Chip would make a fantastic companion for any staffy-savvy family who can provide him with daily exercise, gentle instruction, plenty of love, and lots of belly rubs!

Chip just wants a best friend to spend the rest of his life with. Could that be you?
