My story

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

Adoption Area: East Tennessee

Tippy needs:

-Active adult home as I am a young girl and if children in the home need to be over 12 years old
-A fenced yard
-Someone home part of the day to continue working on my house training, but I am doing well!
-A small playful dog friend

Tippy is a sweet, cheerful little girl who’s ready to find her forever family! She’s about a year old, weighs 11 pounds, and is a mostly tan Chihuahua mix with adorable white tips on her feet—hence the name Tippy.

Tippy came to SBRET from a local shelter with several other dogs from the same house. She has settled beautifully into her foster home. She was shy and skittish at first, and she can still get nervous with loud noises or too much excitement. When she gets startled or overly excited, she may have a small potty accident, but she is making great progress with her house training. She uses the fenced backyard to do her business and is learning what this whole “leash” thing is about—she’s unsure for now, but with patience and gentle practice, she’ll catch on.

This little girl LOVES to play! Toys, chew bones, and zoomies are all on her favorite’s list. She enjoys other dogs and would happily play with them, though the older dogs in her foster home aren’t quite up for her puppy energy. She’s also very affectionate and absolutely melts for belly rubs.

Tippy would thrive in an active home and would likely do well with older, gentle children, as she is friendly and eager to interact. At night, she goes right into her crate and sleeps soundly until morning. When Tippy goes to her new home it’s going to take her just a few days to warm up but if you’re patient with her, she will be your best little buddy ever!

Tippy has been spayed and is up-to-date on all her vaccinations and preventatives. Now she’s ready for her forever home—could that be with you? Tippy’s adoption fee is $175.
