Tipper Tater is a truly special little guy with unique features that are sure to capture your heart! He's approximately 1 year old and weighs around 14 lbs, with a captivating blend of a warm brown eye and a stunning ocean-blue eye. We believe he might be a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, but with rescue, breed and age are always a delightful mystery! Tipper has a gentle and quiet presence, making him a calming companion. He's not demanding and is content to simply be near you, observing and enjoying a peaceful home. He's crate-trained, quiet in his crate, and potty-trained, making him a wonderful houseguest. He loves treats and takes them very gently. While he shows interest in toys, he's still figuring out what to do with them, which is quite adorable! Tipper is a "slow burn" kind of dog; he likes to take his time getting to know people, observing from a distance before offering his trust. When he does choose to connect, it feels incredibly meaningful.
Ideal Home
Tipper would thrive in a lower-energy home with a calmer environment. He's not looking for a busy social life but rather a safe place to land with predictable routines and kind people where he can truly bloom. A home with a yard would be a better fit than apartment living for him.
Ongoing Health
No specific health concerns were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Tipper is crate-trained and potty-trained. He is also noted to be quiet in his crate. While he shows interest in toys, he's still learning how to interact with them, suggesting he may need a little guidance and patience as his personality continues to emerge.
