#13605 Tippy (Special Needs Tripod)

Energy Level 3 - Enjoys walks, mental stimulation, and some playtime.

This sweet sweet boy Tippy is a 4 year old, 35lb, guessed to be Iab mix. After a rough start, he is desperate to find his forever home. He lost a leg 2 years ago due to a gunshot wound. He is a great dog with a sad past who needs a soft place to land, and will become your best friend!
Tippy is fully potty trained and, even though he has three legs, he can run, jump, play, climb stairs, and do everything a 4 legged dog can do.
He is great when walking on a leash except he does tend to forget his manners when he spots a bunny that needs to be chased! Tippy loves to play, walk and visit the dog park. He loves going on daily two-miles walks with his foster and will most likely require similar walks in the future or a daily romping outside to get his energy out. Yet he's a couch potato while you're working and hanging out at home.
He is great with other dogs and people. He doesn't mind spending some time in his crate, and he even puts his toys away in his crate....he just doesn't like the door closed. He does not currently sleep in his crate. He much prefers to sleep near his humans.
He absolutely loves the car (will hop right in) and has just learned how to play with toys. He has also learned the fun of chasing a ball.
Tippy would be an extremely loyal companion to someone who works from home, or is retired. He is pretty much a follower who sticks with his favorite human.
Although Tippy is perfectly fine outside in public areas, he would do best living with no other dogs. Although progress is being made each day, he arrived very thin and is very food focused.
