Ellijay Paws In Need

🐾 Meet Chipper❤️
This handsome 5–7-month-old shepherd mix is a very special boy who has already been through more than any puppy should. He was abandoned in the woods, but despite his difficult start, he has an incredibly sweet and loving heart.
He can be a little shy and timid at first, but once he learns that he can trust you, his personality truly shines. ❤️ He is extremely loving, loyal, and eager to please. Once you earn his trust, he wants nothing more than to be right by your side and be part of whatever you’re doing.
🎾 He LOVES to play ball! Fetch and retrieving are some of his favorite things, and he would happily spend time playing with his favorite tennis ball or Kong. When he’s ready to relax, you’ll often find him lying peacefully in the grass in the shade with his favorite toy.
He also loves going for walks and walks very well on a leash. He is curious, smart, and incredibly eager to learn, making him a wonderful candidate for continued training and all the adventures that come with being part of a family. 🐶 Some of his wonderful qualities:
• ❤️ Extremely loving once he trusts you
• 🐾 Shy at first, but warms up beautifully
• 🎾 LOVES playing fetch and retrieving
• 🚶 Walks well on a leash
• 🏡 Crate trained
• 🐕 Gets along well with other dogs
• 🐈 Gets along well with cats
• 🐾 Loves playing with other animals
• 🧠 Very smart and eager to learn
• ❤️ Incredibly loyal and eager to please
• 🌿 Loves relaxing outside in the shade with his favorite toy
• 🏠 Potty training is going very well—no accidents in the house so far!
One of his cutest quirks is that he is a little timid in the dark. When nighttime comes, he wants his person close by and feels safest staying right by your side. 🥹 It’s just another glimpse of how much he values the people he trusts.
This sweet boy has so much love to give. He deserves a family who will be patient with him as he continues to build confidence and show them just how wonderful he is. ❤️🐾
