Story
Chipper is a very smart pup who likes to play. He likes humans and other dogs. Has not been exposed to cats. He is starting to signal when he needs to go outside to potty. He loves digging in the yard for acorns and a good chase with a ball or another pup. He would like to catch anything. He will be a tall, strong dog with a soft, velvety coat. Chipper prefers to play and chew, but will snuggle when very sleepy. What fun it will be to watch this boy grow!FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
