About Tipper

Tipper is a 5-year-old Mini Aussie mix with the heart of a best friend and the intelligence only a true herding dog can offer. At just 30-35 pounds, she's the perfect size for adventures, road trips, hikes, or simply curling up beside you after a long day. One of Tipper's favorite routines? She'll walk out of her crate and happily slip her own face into her slip lead like the little professional she is. Like many herding breeds, Tipper is thoughtful with new people. She prefers to take things at her own pace, building trust before giving away her whole heart. But once you earn it... you'll have a fiercely loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side. She loves to learn, thrives with structure, and is happiest when she has a person to love and a job to do—even if that job is simply following you from room to room. Tipper has done well with other dogs when introductions are slow and respectful. She isn't looking for a house full of chaos—she's looking for a home where she can feel safe, understood, and deeply loved. This sweet girl has so much love to give. She just needs someone willing to see past the first few minutes and discover the incredible dog waiting underneath. The best relationships are worth earning... and Tipper is one of them. Could you be the person she's been waiting for?
