My story

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

Hi there! I'm Tippy, a 1-year-old Pit Bull, and I've been told that the top three words to describe me are sweet, loving, and gentle. My previous home had too many animals, so now I'm here looking for my forever family.

From my last home, I can tell you that I'm great with kids, dogs, and even cats. I'm a very sweet boy who loves to be around people and other furry friends. I really enjoy playing and having fun, but I'm also happy to cuddle up and give lots of love.

When I'm out on walks, I have medium energy and sometimes follow commands. I'm still learning my tricks, but I'm a quick learner and eager to please. I get super excited when I see other dogs, but I don't chase them. Sometimes, I might feel a little unsure of things, but with your patience and positive reinforcement, I'll become more confident.

The staff here says I'm a sweet dog who's uninterested in treats but might be more motivated by toys. So, if you have some fun toys and a loving home, I think we could be a perfect match. Come meet me, and let's start our adventure together!
