Tippy's Story

Breed: Chihuahua mix<br/>Age: 4 mons. as of 1/15/26<br/>Weight: 18 lbs.<br/>Good with dogs: yes<br/>Good with cats: unsure<br/>Good with kids: no<br/>Energy level: unsure<br/>Good with men/strangers: yes<br/>Hypoallergenic: no<br/><br/>Special home requirements or medical: none<br/><br/>Additional info:<br/><br/>Tippy is a gorgeous gal who looooves to show affection to her person. She is learning the basics with training including house training and leash skills. She is currently mostly house trained but will use a pee pad if left alone longer periods. She is fostered with another dog and while they do coexist peacefully, she does seem to enjoy her own space and stuff and can guard her toys and food (like many dogs do). She also needs a nice introduction to new dogs but then is open to play. With an experienced dog owner, she could do well with another dog but seems just as content to be on her own. With her onyx fur and gentle eyes, she is ready to win you over and love you forever! <br/><br/>If you are not ready to adopt just yet and would like to help in other ways, please consider clicking on the green “Sponsor Me” button above to help this dog receive the best care we can give. We rely on the generosity of others to make rescuing dogs possible.<br/><br/>IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING THIS DOG, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ THE DOG'S INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
