This little gem was on a recent AAA networking list. Abandoned at the Baldwin Park kill shelter like many other dogs just like him, this boy was a forgotten soul until we got our hands on him. Fortunately he was rescued and transported to Vancouver where he was recently adopted by a police officer. Here is a short description about Chippawa’s (now Chip’s) recent experiences from his new parent.
“Chip was a busy boy today riding a bus, a skytrain, a car and a cop car. Everywhere he went people would break out into a smile. He is such a happy little boy. Tail wagging all the time. We went to Tisol on Arbutus where he met lots of new doggie friends. He tried out a bed and curled right up in it, a nice reflective waterproof coat he waggled his bum in, some of that Chihuahua food you recommended, some treats & chews, a harness, lead, a nice metal bowl for his food…. He was being spoiled rotten. Every store we went into gave him treats – he liked that very much. Then we headed down to another doggie store where we bought him a lovely cableknit wool coat and a name tag. He literally pranced down the street once he started wearing it. The nametag should be ready in the next day or so.
Gracie [the cat] & Chip ate their dinners side by side. Both more interested in the other one’s food. She’s following him around and vice versa. They’re trying to figure each other out. But all in all he seems to be settling in well. 
Thank you ever so much for letting Gracie & I have the opportunity to give Chip a forever home. We decided Chip was such a perfect name for him so we’re not going to change it.”
To all the other pups sitting at our local shelters right now, we will do our best to make sure you have the same opportunity as our little friend Chip, whether in LA or all the way in Vancouver.
