More About Tipper

Where does one begin with the wonderful Mr. Tipper? Let’s start with the basics – Tipper is what we think is a Black Lab/Akita/Newfoundland mix that was born November 20, 2007. He is a larger guy, with a big head & a goofy happy-go-lucky smile. He gets his name from the white tip to his tail. Tipper is an energetic guy who was an owner surrender. He was living outdoors on a tie out. We don’t know how he would do with cats. He does know how to sit & shake. The one thing Tipper loves is to be around people. You can let him out to run in the yard, but he’s coming back to visit you for some love. He adores going for walks – what more could a dog want then a nice relaxing time with a person? He loves to play, and is figuring out which toys he likes best, and which he doesn’t think are as much fun. This big goofball has been with us since June, and has become a bit of a favorite here. He’s so sweet, but being a big black dog is looked over often. ADOPTION FEE $60 This pet has not yet been spayed/neutered. The adopter is required to sign an agreement that they will have this done, and will receive a $25.00 sterilization rebate to help defray the cost.

Potential adopters are required to fill out an adoption application. The application will be e-mailed upon request or can be filled out in person, at the shelter, during open hours. E-mail is the fastest and most reliable way to contact us: pawprints01@hotmail.com Please note – it does take several days to process an adoption application and to determine approval status. Your patience is appreciated.
