Lip is an easy-going mixed breed dog who just wants warmth and affection. He's about five and a half years old and weighs in around 50 pounds, with an estimated birthday in early November—if you're into astrology, he's a Scorpio, so loyalty runs deep. Lip is known for his gentleness and loves snuggling up with people, making him an excellent match for families, especially those with kids. He enjoys the company of other dogs, though a meet and greet is required if you have one at home. Lip’s story is tough. He was hit by a car and then shot in one of his rear legs as a young pup, and unfortunately never received proper medical care at the time. Now, he's learned to get around with a bit of a unique gait, sometimes showing a little stiffness after lots of activity or when the weather turns cold. Vets agree it's better to let him be rather than risk further surgery. He's prone to arthritis in that leg, but it doesn't dampen his spirit or affection. If you’re searching for a relaxed, loving dog who’ll be a steady presence at your side, Lip is waiting in Dickson, TN. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
