Cheerful Chip is a 10 year old Labrador who is in foster care in Banbury, Oxfordshire while he waits for someone to offer him a permanent home. Chip prefers to be with people most of the time. He is highly trainable and always wants to please so, once his confidence has been built up, the time he’s left alone could be gradually increased. He will always be happiest with someone around for company though. Chip really loves other dogs! He meets and greets nicely. He is both very friendly and kind to all other dogs. He would probably enjoy living with one or more. The more the merrier! Dogs of a similar size and robustness might be best. He chases cats, such fun!
Probably good with children: It’s thought that Chip would be happy living with older children. He’s friendly and polite with all people but he is pretty big – weighing in at 26kg and has a very waggy tail, so small children could get bowled over with love! He’s certainly young at heart and enjoys playing with everyone he can. Chip is curious and full of enthusiasm for exercise and play. His recall is generally quite good. It’s not entirely reliable if he’s absorbed in something fun but he will come back for treats! He adores being off lead – running around, playing with other dogs or just exploring fields. If there is any water he loves to have a swim too!

Chip’s favourite pastimes are playing with other dogs or his human friends, getting pats and attention, walking, swimming, running, pleasing people, getting belly rubs and, of course, eating! Chip’s dislikes are strange noises and horses. Chip would be a great addition to almost any household, as he is easy-going and extremely lovable. He’s a happy boy who gets along with everyone, humans and dogs alike. He is very affectionate, loving cuddles and will attempt to lie on your lap. He knows some commands, ‘sit’, ‘stay’ etc. and maybe many more. He finds training to be super fun! He needs a garden and some safe, open spaces to lollop about in. It’s not all go, all the time with Chip though. As long as someone is nearby, he sure knows how to relax!

Chip is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and flea worm treated. The vet noticed a touch of arthritis in his back legs but Chip seems to be unaware of it still!
