This little man is approx. 3-4 years old of pure cuteness. Tippy came to us via a woman in Mississippi who could not keep him - we don't know exactly why and can't figure it out because his foster mom said he is literally perfect. He's getting along with all the other dogs in the foster home (and there are many). He is working on housetraining, but crating has not been an issue, and he's learning quickly. He's fantastic in the car - loves to just stare out the window. He has a little "wobble" in his gait, which we had a veterinarian check out with exam and X-rays - there is no evidence of any bony or physical deformity that would cause it. Tippy is heading to New England on 4-10 and will be fostered in Massachusetts after arrival. We will update more as we learn more about this little man.
