About Tippy

Tippy is house and crate trained, making him well-prepared for home life. Affectionate and playful, Tippy enjoys the company of people and thrives on interaction.

This handsome pup particularly adores ear scratches and has a friendly demeanor. Tippy is eager to find his forever home. His adoption fee is $250, which covers neuter surgery, a microchip, and vaccinations for parvo/distemper and rabies.
