Meet Tippy

YOU MUST HAVE AN APPROVED APPLICATION IN ORDER TO SET UP A TIME TO MEET OUR PETS.

Tippy is a super cute 6 and a half pound munchkin. We are not sure of his breed mix but he looks like he has a lot of Toy Fox Terrier, Chihuahua, or Rat Terrier in his heritage.

What we do know is that he is a very sweet boy who is a little shy at first but warms up quickly to treats and kind people. He is cuddly and likes to be held. Kisses and tummy rubs are just fine with him.

He had a home with an elderly owner until she was unable to take care of him. He found himself at the Martinsville SPCA where he has been for the past month. They decided our rescue group was a much better place for him than a noisy shelter so here he is with us, all ready for a great new home.

Tippy was a good boy for his bath and seems to appreciate being cared for and in a nice place. Though he may be a little timid first, very understandable with all the new stuff in his life, he obviously bonds quickly and very much enjoys being with his loved ones and friends. He enjoys a cozy lap, especially once he is feeling comfy with you.

He does not seem to be used to playing with toys but he does do an adorable happy dance for tasty treats.

Tippy is great on the leash and enjoys going for walks. He is such a tiny guy that, even when he is fairly prancing with happiness at being outdoors, he still does not walk too quickly.

Since he is used to being an only dog, he is indifferent to other dogs so he would be fine as an only dog or could share a home with another dog. Just do not expect him to be a playmate or best buddy to your dog, but rather a peaceful companion.

He still needs to be housetrained but, if he has already pottied recently, he does not even mark bushes and stuff so he does not seem to be a marker or territorial kind of guy. He just needs a few lessons in a home. A belly band is very helpful the first week or so in a new home to facilitate house training.

He just had a thorough dental cleaning and a few extractions but he still eats little kibble just fine, though he prefers a teaspoon or so of wet mixed in for now.

Tippy is about 10 years old but does not act like a senior. He has a nice, even and calm temperament that should make him an easy keeper in his new home. If you are looking for a little love bug but do not want a pup that is as needy as an energetic youngster, Tippy will fit the bill!

The vet the SPCA uses already neutered him so he is ready to come home with you now. He has a heart murmur but does not need any treatment for this now.

Tippy is a darling little guy who certainly did not expect to end up in a shelter so he would be very grateful if you would give him a chance to grace your home with his sweet self and be your loving companion. If you appreciate how well behaved and sweet seniors are, you must come meet our adorable Tippy.
