Chip and Pip (Reserved)
Age: 8 Years
Breed: Chihuahuas
Size: Small
Gender: Male
Meet Chip and Pip!
Chip and Pip are eight year old Chihuahuas, who were sadly surrendered to RATS due to a change in their family’s circumstances. They are brothers, but they are easy to tell apart as Chip is the bigger of the two and Pip is smaller and has a really sweet foxy face.
Initially they were very timid, but it didn’t take them long to settle and it soon became clear that they are a really friendly, affectionate pair who absolutely love a lap to cuddle up on.
Chip and Pip are pretty inseparable; wherever one of them is, you can usually find the other! They are so sweet together and we often see them licking each other or cuddling up with each other. As they are so bonded we are looking for a forever home for both of them so that they can remain together.
Chip and Pip haven’t shown any signs of reactivity to other dogs whilst at RATS, so we think that they could potentially live with another dog subject to careful introductions at the kennels. We are also happy for Chip and Pip to live with children; however, as they are eight years old, any children in their new home would need to be slightly older (aged 10 and over), as they will understand how to be gentle with small, older dogs.
Can you offer these adorable little Chihuahuas a happy retirement home where they can be together?

ADOPTION PROCESS
We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.
Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:
Step 1:
The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.
Step 2:
The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.
Step 3:
The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.
Step 4:
The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.
Step 5:
A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.
Step 6:
If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
