Our Long-term friends are still available for adoption and would love to come home with you!
To us, adoption is more than the urgency of placing an animal within any home, it is about determining the right fit for the animal, and the right fit for the family, in order to find a forever home. In many cases, these animals have experienced trauma or abandonment before coming to the sanctuary and safety of Blue Chip Farm.
Breed(s): Pit mix
Home Requirements: No other animals or kids

Favorite person: Marie
Bio: Pepper was dumped into a wooded area in the Poconos, left to try to survive on her own. A Good samaritan, who lived near the wooded area, spotted her and spent two weeks trying to lour her into his garage. He was not able to keep her because he already had four dogs of his own. This kind person brought her to Blue Chip where she was named Pepper. The first few weeks at the shelter were very difficult since Pepper was completely distrusting of humans. Everyone tried to make friends with her and slowly but surely, Pepper began to show some trust toward a few of them. Pepper is still people selective, she has a very keen sense of any person who is truly trust worthy. She has come a very long way since arriving and has many friends now. If you are a true dog lover, Pepper may be the one for you. She needs time, patience, understanding and most of all pure love. It takes a little time but once Pepper senses that she can trust you, she will come to love you. I am very proud to say I am one of Pepper's favorite people and I know when Pepper loves you, she loves you with all of her being.

Bio: Smoke was removed from his original home by a humane officer. He was kept tied to a tree his entire life. Due to this, he is still stuck in puppy mode and needs guidance. He easily becomes overly excited, but with the right handler, he calms down quickly and listens to the rules. He is incredibly affectionate and has a wonderful personality. He loves playing with other dogs and going for walks. He is fully trained and loves meeting new humans, but would do best with adults only.

Favorite person:
Bio: Representing our long-term/lifer cats is Hank! He is a senior boy who has chosen Blue Chip as his home. He has had a few failed adoptions, always returning to the shelter without batting an eye. He is the King of our Kitty Kottage, truly ruling the roost. He can be rude to the other cats, so most choose to avoid him. He can be rude to humans, but our volunteers have all formed bonds with him and he adores them in return. He will do absolutely anything for a piece of food, always assisting our volunteers when it is time to feed. He is very happy being the King and while he is not on our unadoptable list, we do not see him going anywhere. He has quite the personoity and everyone here adores him (except our veterinarians!).
Breed(s): Boxer and Pitbull
Home Requirements: No kids, no cats, fenced yard
Favorite person: Charlene
Bio: Remington was surrendered to us after he and his father started to fight. His owner made the decision to surrender Remington since he was the younger of the two. Remington can be wary of new humans, warming uo to men faster! He is a very goofy and loyal dog who loves to play! He has a super funny personality, all he needs is some time to warm up to you. He has done well with other large dogs, but would do best with no small dogs. He loves to run around in the yard and go for walks. He enjoys car rides and loves to be with his people. He is a very intelligent dog and learns quickly. We can not believe that he has been with us for so long!

Breed(s): Treeing Walker Coonhound
Home Requirements: No kids, no cats/small animals, fenced yard, hound experience
Favorite person: Bill
Bio: Pete came to us from a southern kill shelter. We pulled him from the euthanization list with the help of our rescue partners. He has been adopted a few times, none of the homes ended up working out. He is a typical hound - loud, aloof, and independent. He prefers being by himself over being around people. He loves to run around in the yard, he would spend all day outside if he could. He does not always like affection, so our volunteers let him be when he wants to be alone. He enjoys going for walks and always makes his presence known when first leaving the kennel area! He would do best as the only animal due to resource guarding, unless you have hound experience and can handle his quirks with other dogs around. Absolutely no cats or small animals.
Adoption fee: $100

Favorite person: Amy
Bio: Murphy was an owner surrender. He suffers from severe skin allergies, needing special food and baths. He is picky with his people, but if he bonds to you - he absolutely loves you. He is very low level, liking to keep to himself and relax. He is very well trained and would be happy to just hang out around the house. He enjoys car rides and absolutely loves his crate. He takes time to adjust to new people, we are not sure what his entire past was like to cause this.

Favorite person: Jalissa
Bio: Millie is a fearful dog. When she first came to us, we were unable to touch her and she was extremely overweight. She would bite if you attempted to touch her neck and was afraid of every single thing. She has overcome a great amount of fears and absolutely adores all of our volunteers. She is still fearful of new people and is not comfortable with you touching her neck until bonded, but the amount that she has overcome is incredible. She is a very affectionate and loyal dog. She loves to run around and go for walks, a fenced yard is required for her. She does well going on walks with other dogs, but would prefer being the only animal in her home as she does get jealous and protective of her owner. She is actively working with a trainer to continue her progress, as well as our volunteers dedicating their time to helping her become the best that she can be. Her perfect home has to be out there!

Favorite person: Connie
Bio: Chopper originally came to us as a young, energetic, happy-go-lucky puppy. He was adopted and returned a few years later as a scared, defensive, and un-trusting dog. While we do not know what happened during his time away from the shelter, he was unable to overcome his past and has strong trust issues with humans. He will do absolutely anything for a toy, he loves tennis balls and squeaky balls more than anything. He enjoys spending time in our fenced areas and being walked by his main volunteer. While his trust is not strong in humans, he is always ready for breakfast, snacks, and dinner - regardless of who they’re from!

Favorite person: Marie & Joanne
Bio: Brady was originally named Whiskey. He belonged to an abusive owner for the first few years of his life. He was adopted from our shelter and returned due to increasin aggression that was caused by his original home. Brady is a very fearful dog which shows through fear aggression. He has a few extremely dedicated volunteers who adore him and show him all of the love in the world. They are able to handle him and keep his life as normal as possible. He loves going for walks and rolling around on the pavement and grass. While he does not always like to be touched, he has a great time simply being with his volunteers. He is a senior boy now and is enjoying his golden years surrounded by as much love as possible here at the shelter.
Breed(s): Boxer
Favorite person: Jalissa & Darlene
Bio: Moose was surrendered to us after developing aggression. He was a product of a breeder attempting to breed white Boxers, but took it too far and ended up having a litter of deaf puppies. Moose was rehomed and the person who took him starved him almost to death. He was removed from that home and developed behavioral issues as he began to put his weight back on. He does not trust humans, but does have two volunteers in particular whom he adores. While he attempts to bite when frustrated, he was bred poorly and his snout is wrongly proporationed - making it so he can only bruise you. He has a quirky personality and likes to test you, but he is also very entertaining and goofy. He knows his basic hand signal commands and listens well to those he semi-respects. He is definitely happy, well loved, and spoiled!

Favorite person: Jen
Bio: Koda was originally brought to us after he was thrown from a moving vehicle in Nay Aug park. The couple that witnessed this incident was able to earn his trust and bring him to our shelter for safety. Shortly after arriving, Koda began to display some behavioral issues. He spent a few months at the shelter before being adopted, biut was returned due to his behvaioral issues not being solved. He is a very un-trusting dog, petrified of having his neck touched. While our volunteers have tried to show him how to enjoy human interaction, he is not a fan of it. We allow him to have time in the yards as much as possible, as he loves to ruin around and play. Koda is in his own little world, but he seems pretty content and happy with that. We are trying to keep him as happy, comfortable, and content as possible.
Breed(s): Rhodesian Ridgebacck mix
Favorite person: Darlene
Bio: We do not know much about Benji’s past, but we have to assume that it was not wonderful. He came into our care after state police found him in an abandoned home. His owners never came forward or were found, but neighbors of the home confirmed that his name is Benji. He does not trust easily and becomes very defensive when afraid or unsure of what is going on around him. He was adopted once and returned, he has remained at the shelter since. He was diagnosed with Mid-stage Retinal Degeneration in 2017, meaning he would become close to fully blind within 2 years of the diagnosis. His eyes are now cloudy, but he does seem to stil see shapes/outlines. He is a very well behaved boy in his kennel and enjoys yard time a few times a day. He does have a volunteer that he trusts enough to walk and pet him, the others he prefers to interact with through his cage. We are keeping him as happy and comfortable as possible.
NOTE: Blue Chip Farm Animal Refuge is NOT open to the general public. If you are interested in adopting, please apply first and we will reach out to make an appointment.
