About Tipsy

Tipsy is back at Last Hope after her previous family found her energetic nature to be more than they anticipated. She’s a young, intelligent, and spirited pup, coming in at about three years old. This Australian Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog mix, sprinkled with a bit of Poodle, requires more than the typical walks around the block. Tipsy needs a secure, fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and engage in playful activities. Her herding instincts mean she thrives on having a purpose. Daily exercise, training, and mental challenges are essential for her well-being. While Tipsy can get overwhelmed in busy areas and may lunge at people or other dogs, she's shown a calm demeanor in her kennel, indicating she’s capable of relaxation when she feels secure. She’s not a fit for someone looking for a laid-back companion. If you think you have what it takes to provide the environment and commitment she needs, come meet her at Last Hope!
