Tipper Tater is a delightful approximately 1-year-old, 14lb bundle of charm, likely a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. His most striking features are his incredibly expressive, satellite-dish-like ears and his captivating eyes – one warm brown and the other a stunning ocean blue. He's a gentle, quiet soul who brings a calming presence to any home. Tipper is a "slow burn" who prefers to observe and build trust at his own pace, making those moments of connection feel truly special. He enjoys treats with a soft mouth and is curious about toys, even if he's still figuring out their purpose.
Ideal Home
Tipper would thrive in a lower-energy, calmer environment. He's not looking for constant excitement but rather a predictable routine and a safe place to bloom. A home with a yard would be a better fit for him than apartment living. His ideal family will understand his need for patience and celebrate his quiet victories as he opens up.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Tipper is crate trained and very quiet in his crate. He is also potty trained and has been a wonderful houseguest. He is a "slow burn" and may need time to trust new people. Patience and allowing him to approach at his own pace will be key to his adjustment.
