Chips

Mixed Breed · Female

Chips is a sweet, affectionate, sociable girl who has blossomed beautifully with love, patience, and routine. She arrived unsure of the world, but with time she has grown into a playful, cuddly, and deeply devoted companion. She has lived happily alongside an older dog, two cats, a young child, a teenager, and two adults. Once she feels safe, she is wonderfully gentle with children and friendly with other dogs. 💛 Personality & Home Life Chips is crate trained and settles calmly when visitors or workmen come — her crate is her safe space. But her favourite place will always be right beside her people, ideally curled up on the sofa or snuggled on the bed. She is fully house‑trained and will ask to go outside, though she may need a little time to adjust to a new environment and routine. 🚶‍♀️ Walking, Recall & Adventures Chips must be walked in a harness, as collars make her uncomfortable. She loves being off‑lead and naturally stays close. Her recall is very good — around 90% reliable — especially when you use her magic words: “snacks” or “lead”. She’s most responsive when you crouch or sit, or when you’re near a gate. She’s happiest when other dogs around her are also off‑lead, and she’s a true water baby — puddles, streams, rivers… she’s in! The sea is still a bit suspicious, but she loves a beach day. 🎾 Toys & Enrichment Chips adores toys but is a power chewer, so she needs tough, durable options like Kong balls, antlers, yak chews, or similar. Tennis balls don’t stand a chance. 🧡 Things to Know Chips’ biggest hurdle in a new home will be trusting new people. She may shake when nervous and needs gentle introductions. She can be wary of: -People in long black coats -People with very long dark hair -Large black dogs -Boisterous young dogs She may chase cats outdoors, but up close she’s actually quite timid with them. 🏡 The Ideal Home for Chips Chips would thrive: -With or without another dog (as long as any resident dog is calm but playful) -With patient adopters who understand she needs time to warm up -In a home that can offer consistency, affection, and gentle reassurance -Once she trusts you, she gives her whole heart. She is loyal, loving, funny, and endlessly rewarding — the kind of dog who becomes someone’s soulmate.
