Tipper Tater is a 1-year-old, approximately 14 lb bundle of charm, likely a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, though rescue guesswork is always part of the fun! His most striking features are his adorable, expressive ears that seem to catch every sound and his captivating eyes – one warm brown and the other a stunning ocean blue. Tipper has a gentle, quiet presence that makes him a calming companion. He's a "slow burn" kind of dog, preferring to observe and build trust at his own pace, which makes his eventual affection feel incredibly meaningful. He's easily won over with treats, taking them with the softest of mouths, and he's curious about toys, even if he's still figuring out their purpose. He's crate trained and quiet in his crate, and is also potty trained, making him a wonderful houseguest.
Ideal Home
Tipper would thrive in a lower-energy home with a calm and predictable routine. He's not suited for apartment living and would prefer a home with a yard. He needs people who understand his sensitive nature and will allow him to move at his own pace, celebrating small victories like his first approach or tail wag.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in his listing.
Training & Support
Tipper is crate trained and potty trained. He is gentle with treats and curious about toys. His main "training need" is allowing him to approach new people and situations on his own terms without being rushed.
