🚨 CALIFORNIA FRIENDS — STOP SCROLLING! 🚨
Chip needs us. And somewhere in California, I believe his family is waiting to see this post. 🥹❤️
Through absolutely NO FAULT of his own, this precious Standard Australian Shepherd puppy unexpectedly needs a new home.
Chip recently traveled from Texas to California to join one of our wonderful repeat families. He was specifically chosen because of his chill, easygoing temperament and because he is a full brother to one of their current Aussies. We truly thought it was going to be the perfect fit.
Unfortunately, their geriatric alpha male—who is currently dealing with some medical issues—is having a much harder time accepting a young puppy than anyone anticipated. 💔
Normally, after only a few days, I would encourage giving everyone more time to adjust. But Chip’s owner is an experienced dog trainer and communicator who knows his pack of three extremely well. His previous two Aussies blended into the family beautifully, and he recognizes that his senior dog’s needs are different right now.
I respect him tremendously for making a heartbreaking decision based on what is best for BOTH dogs.
And now…we need to find Chip’s person. ❤️
Chip is currently IN CALIFORNIA, and before we put this sweet boy on a trip all the way back to Texas, I’m hoping social media can work a little magic.
Because y’all…Chip is SUCH a good puppy. 🥹
He’s a big, fluffy, slightly goofy lovebug with a wonderfully easygoing personality. He’s affectionate, sweet, lovable and the kind of puppy who just wants to belong. There is nothing “wrong” with Chip. He simply landed in a situation that wasn’t the right fit—and sometimes love means recognizing that.
