Tipper Tater is a visually striking, approximately 1-year-old, 14 lb dog with a unique charm! His most captivating features are his large, expressive ears that seem to catch every sound and his mismatched eyes – one a warm brown, the other a striking ocean blue. We believe he might be a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, but with rescue, breed and age are always a mystery. Tipper has a gentle, quiet, and calming presence, making him an easy companion to have around. He's not a demanding dog and is content to simply be near his people, taking it all in. He's a "slow burn" kind of dog, preferring to observe and take his time to trust, making those moments of connection incredibly meaningful.
Ideal Home
Tipper would thrive in a lower-energy home with a calm and predictable environment. He's not looking for a busy social life but rather a safe place to land and the opportunity to bloom. A home with a yard would be a better fit than apartment living. He needs people who are patient and will allow him to move at his own pace, celebrating each small victory as he builds trust.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Tipper is crate trained and very quiet in his crate. He is also potty trained and has been a wonderful houseguest. He has a very gentle mouth when taking treats and seems interested in toys, though he's still figuring out what to do with them. His shy nature means he needs time to warm up to new people and situations.
