He’s a big, sweet boy who lights up around people and soaks up attention from just about anyone. Tipper gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making him a good fit for all kinds of homes. Sometimes, he gets a little too excited and forgets his manners—he likes to jump to say hello, so he’ll need a bit of help on that front.

His vaccinations are all up to date, and he will be neutered soon. This sun-loving, tail-wagging companion is ready for a family who can give him the attention and routine he deserves.
