The rescue’s notes on Tip

Hi, I'm Tip! I'm a beautiful, athletic young girl with lots of energy and an even bigger heart. I'm still learning and growing, but I'm smart, very food-motivated, and eager to please. I could use some continued training (leash manners and staying out of the trash), but with treats and consistency, I do great! I love to move and explore—long runs, bike rides, and outdoor adventures are my jam. I play well with other dogs and enjoy wrestling and rough-and-tumble play. I've even dipped my paws in the water a few times and liked it! I do best with an experienced, active person who understands higher-energy dogs like me. I'm affectionate and love my people, though I may be a little slow to warm up at first—treats during introductions help a lot. I do well in my crate, enjoy car rides (especially with my head out the window!), and I don't bark much except when my person leaves or comes home. I have some separation anxiety that's managed with medication and good exercise. I'd love a home with a yard or someone who's around more often, but I can do apartment living if my exercise needs are met. I'm loyal, loving, and a little protective of my people—and once you know me, you'll see just how special I am. Tip is an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
