Meet Tippy! This incredible boy, weighing in at a solid 18-19 pounds and standing at about 13 inches, is a beagle mix and is around 4-5 years old—though he might even be younger! 🌟 Rescued from a shelter 15 months ago, Tippy has been living it up with his retired family, who adore him to the moon and back. But here's the scoop: Tippy is bursting with beagle energy, and he needs a forever home that can match his zest for life! Imagine this: Tippy loves to dash around the yard, stretching those legs, and after a good session of running, he enjoys bringing that playfulness inside! 🌼 He is fantastic with children and friendly with dogs. In fact, he lives with a cat and enjoys a good chase (though the cat knows when to put Tippy in his place!). So, any feline companions in his new home will need to be experienced and able to stand their ground when Tippy's playtime gets a bit too enthusiastic! Now, let’s talk about Tippy’s living requirements. He MUST have a 6-foot fenced yard to safely let out that playful spirit—no apartments or condos for this fella! When he gets bored or left alone, he can become quite the climber! 🏃‍♂️ Oh, and while he may have a little aggression toward farm animals, he’s more suited to be a city dog, where he can thrive on all the new city smells and sights! Food-wise, Tippy is quite unique. He’s not your typical food-driven beagle; in fact, after his meals are measured, he might just wait around all day before diving in! But give him some Pupperoni or wet food, and you’ll see his tail wag like crazy! Unlike other beagles, Tippy will play with a dog biscuit for a few days before he munches on it. This charming quirk does make training a tad tricky without the usual beagle motivation. Tippy prefers a home with humans around to keep him company. While he might do alright with another dog when left alone, we can’t be 100% sure if that's enough for him in the absence of his beloved people. So, if you’re ready to add a ball of energy and joy to your life, apply to adopt Tippy through the Buddy App! Let’s help this little heart find the home he deserves! ❤️ In case you're wondering about Tippy’s zodiac: he's a Sagittarius! Fun fact—Sagittarians are known for their adventurous spirit and love for freedom, much like our Tippy!
