I rarely can understand how a person gives up a dog. But, a 10-year-old dog is even less understandable...
This photo was snapped by another volunteer when she took Chipper on a field trip. He loved the stream!!
Hello there! I'm Chipper, a 10-year old golden/lab mix with the life motto "Live Young!" I am a very active, well-behaved dog who lived on 25-acres in my former life. When I kept leaving the property (there was just so much LIVING out there to do!), my owner brought me to MaxFund to find a family who better suits my active lifestyle. I must mention that I only left the property when left alone to explore, as I'm very responsive to my name & the "come* command - and pleasing my people is my number one priority!
As I'm so eager to get out and explore this fabulous world of ours, I make sure that I'm a perfect gentleman on a leash - my goal is to make my human look good so they'll take me out and show me off often! I'm quite the water dog and love splashing around in creeks and streams. I already know many obedience commands & I'm extremely treat-motivated (I will even nudge at your treat-filled pocket before you reveal the goodies inside!)
I'm not too keen on this shelter environment and I'm a completely different dog when we meet outside of this stressful locale. Volunteers and staff at MaxFund describe me as "confidant, calm, real sweet gentleman, lover of the outdoors, well-mannered, well-behaved, housebroken, friendly-to-all, a lover of all people (including children!)" and they say I have a calming touch with other dogs. No one has witnessed any encounters with cats so please inquire with the MaxFund folks if cats are a part of your family.
I'm searching for a family who will spend time enjoying life with me. Although a secure yard would be nice, they need not have 25 acres...just the desire to share all life has to offer! If you're looking for a dog who will help you "Live Young", please come visit me at MaxFund. After you check in at the front desk, let's get to know each other outside of this darn kennel - I know you'll quickly recognize what totally fantastic man I am!
