Tipsy, also known as Buffy, is a smart, hilarious, and deeply affectionate terrier mix with a huge personality packed into a small body. She's the kind of dog who will make you laugh with her goofy underbite, melt into you for cuddles, and surprise you with how quickly she learns. She is incredibly people-oriented once she feels safe and connected. Tipsy/Buffy loves snuggling close, loves being praised, and forms strong bonds quickly. She is wonderfully expressive and communicative, and when she trusts you, she is sweet, funny, loyal, and full of charm.
Ideal Home
Tipsy/Buffy would do best in a single-family home with a private yard, so she can avoid over-stimulation from big-city sights and sounds. She would likely thrive with someone who is comfortable continuing her training and helping her build confidence at her own pace. She would do best with an adopter who understands that while she has so many amazing qualities, she can also be sensitive and reactive in certain situations.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions or procedures were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Tipsy/Buffy is a very bright dog who enjoys learning. She picked up on potty training quickly, began using bells, and showed strong progress with cues like name recall, wait, and leave it. She also did well with crate games, meals in the crate, and special chew/Kong time when she could still feel connected to her person. She will need someone to work with her being left alone, but with how smart she is, it shouldn't take long. She may need support around new people, visitors entering the home, separation, and overstimulating environments. She seems to do best with slow introductions, patience, and clear structure. She is generally very good on leash unless distracted by squirrels or other exciting critters, allows handling for harnessing and being picked up, and is not destructive around the home.
