Tipper Tater is a truly special boy with a name that's as endearing as he is! This approximately 1-year-old, 14 lb pup is believed to be a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, though with rescue, the exact breed and age are always a delightful mystery. Tipper Tater has the most captivating eyes – one a warm brown and the other a stunning ocean blue – and ears that seem to capture every whisper and sound. He's a gentle soul with a quiet presence, perfect for those seeking a calming companion. He's crate-trained, potty-trained, and approaches treats with the softest mouth. While he's still figuring out toys, his curious nature is incredibly sweet to witness. Tipper Tater is a "slow burn" who likes to take his time getting to know people, observing from a distance before offering his trust. When he does, it's a truly meaningful connection.
Ideal Home
Tipper Tater would thrive in a lower-energy home with a calm and predictable environment. He's not looking for a busy social life, but rather a safe place to land and the opportunity to bloom. A home with a yard would be a better fit for him than apartment living. He needs patient people who will let him move at his own pace and celebrate every small victory as he settles in.
Ongoing Health
