Tipper is a truly special pup with unique features that will steal your heart! He's approximately 1 year old and weighs around 14 lbs, with a suspected Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. His most striking features are his large, expressive ears that seem to catch every sound and his captivating eyes – one warm brown and one brilliant ocean blue. Tipper is a gentle and quiet companion who enjoys a peaceful existence. He's dog-friendly and has shown he can coexist calmly with other dogs, preferring to observe rather than engage in boisterous play. He also made a wonderful impression on the resident cat, demonstrating respect and no interest in chasing. Tipper is crate-trained and potty-trained, making him a well-behaved houseguest who approaches treats with a soft mouth. While he's curious about toys, he's still discovering their purpose, adding to his endearing charm.
Ideal Home
Tipper is a "slow burn" and needs a patient adopter who will allow him to approach relationships at his own pace. He thrives in a calm, lower-energy environment and would likely do best in a home with a yard rather than an apartment. He's looking for predictability, kindness, and a safe space to bloom.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Tipper is crate-trained and potty-trained. He is still learning how to interact with toys. His sensitive nature means he needs time to build trust, and adopters should be prepared to celebrate small victories as he opens up.
