I went over to Lorin’s house and spent some time with Chip tonight…. he’s holding his own, showing more energy and for the first time since he arrived, wanted to PLAY!!…. The Vet says he’s not out of the woods yet but now has more than a fighting chance, and so he needs the stamina to withstand the Ivermectin treatments he will need to beat the mange.
To say Chip is a love is an understatement. This pup (approx. 6 months according to his teeth) is so gentle, so loving, so… ZEN-like… it’s astounding after all he’s been through. He seems wise beyond his age,too… YODA comes to mind…and I think that should be his name. He even looks like Yoda, although we hope for that to change. Chip, aka Yoda, is so clearly grateful for his new lease on life. He soaks up every bit of love you give him and returns it in spades. He already understands come, sit, and goes potty outside.
THANK YOU to all of you out there who have “chipped-in” to help this little guy. It makes my heart sing to think we know each other only through the blogworld, but have come to know each other enough to trust and care and contribute. It means the world to me, my cup truly runneth over.
You are TRULY a jewel! You should go to veterinary school. Your love for these animals surpasses anything I've ever seen.

What a sweet sweet boy! You are an angel to all these animals that you help. I know you think you don't, but you make a HUGE difference!
Oh, this brings tears to my eyes. He is a little Yoda, isn't he? You are wonderful to bring this boy's story to your blog. I think he's going to be just fine:-)
Such a sad little face. I do hope he gets better and finds a forever home. 🙂
I predict he won't look like Yoda, for long!
Thanks for the update on Chip! What a sweetie! I'm so glad he's doing better. Please keep us posted.
Take care,
Pam
Karen- You are such a dear heart-you give so much of yourself to everything you do. I hope some wonderful person/family comes along to adopt this precious "baby" that has been saved by you and people like you- xo Diana
I cannot understand people who do not take care of their pets. I so hope this dog finds a wonderful home and that he is spoiled for the rest of his life!!!!
Thank you so much for helping him.
You are a jewel…your friend an angel. Thank you for what you guys do.
He has such a sweet face. I hope he heals quickly.
Looks like a little pit bull to me.
Poor baby! So glad he is in loving care now. Will be so great to see him looking like a brand new dog when he is all better.
What a truly beautiful story! I honestly think that animals know when they are given a second chance and usually make wonderful pets!
i think this story needs to go to the TODAY show…..as it's just amazing that chip is alive.
i pray that a loving family is just waiting for him !!
i gave what i could.
bless the beasts and the children.
and thank you for pictures a bit more encouraging than the website.
Bless you for your love of animals. My goodness, he is the sweetest boy! All they want is to be loved. That's what I say all the time. Just love them.
