Meet Tippy! This beautiful and sweet girl is a 3-year-old shepherd mix, weighing in at approximately 45 pounds. Tippy found herself at the shelter through no fault of her own and is looking for a forever family to give her the love and attention she deserves! Could it be yours?

Tippy will need both mental and physical stimulation on a daily basis to keep her happy and healthy. She would love to go on long walks, hikes, and take trips to the dog park so she can socialize with her canine friends. And of course, upon returning home, she'd love to shower her new forever family with tons of kisses and cuddles!

Tippy gets along great with other dogs so she'd be a great addition to an existing pack. In fact, she is a bit shy and timid due to whatever she has experienced in life thus far, and she will need to have a canine sibling at home to help show her how great it can be to be a dog!  Tippy can also go to a home with cats as she currently lives with them and has been doing great! Tippy is also looking forward to attending obedience school to hone in her doggie manners and impress her new family.

Tippy will make a GREAT companion and family member; you won’t regret opening your heart and home to this sweet girl!

Like most shelter dogs, Tippy may need a refresher on housetraining. She is likely crate trained.

Tippy has tested positive and has been treated for Heartworm disease. Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites.  Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative.

The adoption fee for this dog is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please download our Adoption Questionnaire and email it to Lauren at laurenm@luckydoganimalrescue.org!
