My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

He doesn’t have an outgoing personality and he wasn’t handled enough (or something) for him to develop much of a need for physical touch.
He’s shown no interest in toys, fun with the pack, people/doggie interplay, being picked up, or walking across the threshold to go outside. I HAVE managed to train him to give me a nose bump and a little soft mouthing when I ask him to give me a “little lovin’.” This is my reward to him. He’s been too overweight for me to offer him edible treats.
Oh, he IS down to 9.4-pounds from more than 10. And at least he’s stopped howling when I leave the room.

Tippy is current on vaccines, spay/neutered and heartworm tested. Adoption fee for Tippy is $250. If you are interested in adopting Tippy, please visit our website www.furgetusnotrescue.org and fill out an adoption application.
