Age: 5 years Gender: Male Color: Black/White Weight: 45 lbs. Variety: Field-bred Hello everyone! I'm Flipper, or you can call me "Chip". I'm a 'Smiling (and I do smile) Springer', pretty happy guy that needs someone to be with. I came from a home with 3 other ESS, so I'm good with other dogs, but I don't really need other dogs. I just really need someone to 'shadow'. I'm very Velcro so I'm not the type to leave home alone alot, and I am submissive. I am housetrained, easy going and not too bouncy. I've been known to counter surf, but hey, a guy's gotta snack sometime! Update: I am a smart, happy and eager to please boy, working on my basic commands and doing pretty well. I don't play with toys or balls but I do love people, other dogs and I'm great with children. If you are looking for a cuddly, lap spaniel, couch potato, I'm the man! My x-rays indicate that I have hip dysplasia, but you wouldn't know it by watching me get around, I can run, jump and do pretty much anything (including hopping baby gates!). Our rescue has a wonderful Vet in Laramie, WY (Dr. Doug Honken) that will provide the surgery, but I need to find my Forever Home to foster me so that I can get it done. We have a volunteer in WY that can provide the temporary care between surgeries and the adoption can be final when it's over. My birthday is coming up in June and I would love to celebrate it with my new family. If you are interested in giving me that perfect home, apply today! I'm waiting to meet you!
