Chip

My story

Meet Chip 💙🐾 Chip is a sweet, shy 1-year-old boy who’s still learning that people can be safe. Life hasn’t been easy for him, and while he wants to trust, fear still holds him back. But if you look closely, you’ll see it—the longing to be loved, the gentle curiosity, the quiet hope. Chip is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and litterbox trained. He’s not aggressive—just scared. He flinches, hesitates, and sometimes hides… but he wants connection. With patience, kindness, and a soft space to land, Chip has the potential to become a loyal, loving companion. He needs someone special—someone who understands that the best things often take time. Could that someone be you? To meet Chip, call 910-259-7022 or visit penderhumane.org to fill out an adoption application under the “Animals” tab. Applications can be emailed to penderhumane@yahoo.com. Let’s help Chip learn that love isn’t something to fear—it’s something to hold onto. 💕

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Chip, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
