Tipper is a 5-year-old Mini Aussie mix who embodies the heart of a best friend with the sharp intelligence only a true herding dog can offer. At just 30-35 pounds, she's the ideal size for all your adventures, whether it's a road trip, a hike, or simply curling up beside you after a long day. Tipper is a professional at self-management, often walking out of her crate and happily slipping her own face into her slip lead. Like many herding breeds, Tipper approaches new people with thoughtfulness, preferring to take things at her own pace and build trust before offering her whole heart. Once you've earned it, you'll have a fiercely loyal companion who thrives with structure and is happiest when she has a person to love and a job to do—even if that job is simply following you from room to room. Tipper has done well with other dogs when introductions are slow and respectful. She is looking for a home where she can feel safe, understood, and deeply loved. Because of her sensitive nature, she'd do best with someone familiar with herding breeds and older children who understand canine boundaries. This sweet girl has so much love to give and is waiting for someone willing to see past the first few minutes and discover the incredible dog underneath.
