Chip V

Description

Chip is a very happy go lucky beagle. He greets everyone he meets as his new best friend and charms them with his special beagle howl. We don't know about cats, but he loves other dogs and has no trouble sharing the human attention with the other beagle in his foster home. Chip also appears to be quite fond of children. He enjoys taking long walks and is learning to walk on a leash. He keeps his nose to the ground, making sure he doesn’t miss any important scents! He would probably love to be in a fenced yard but for now, walks are okay. At night, he sleeps in a crate and has done well with that -- no crying. He also eats his meals in his crate and when his foster family has to leave him at home alone for a couple of hours he is crated then as well. He does still have lots of energy so he probably wouldn’t be happy left at home in a crate all day. Chip is doing well with his potty training. He has only been in his foster home a short while and is on a structured and consistent schedule as his foster mom has not found his sign yet that he needs to go. Chip enjoys playing with toys and, although his energy level might be slightly above moderate, he does settle easily and enjoys long naps in his dog bed with his blanket. He is somewhat independent and does not seem needy, but he will sit on your lap and is happy to receive lots of scratches and pets. He does not jump on the furniture at all and has learned to sit when he wants a treat. Overall Chip is a very happy beagle boy who would do great in a home with children, other dogs or just a family of two. He appears able to handle things well when there’s a lot going on with dogs and children and people. He just jumps right in and is part of the action. Chip is heartworm positive and will be ready for a sleepover the last week of August.
