Dipper is a charming 9-year-old Cotton De Tulear/Shih Tzu mix who is currently looking for his forever home. Sadly, his previous owners passed away, and now he’s in search of a new family to love and care for him. Dipper is the perfect companion for a retired individual or someone who stays at home, as he loves to be near his person at all times. He has separation anxiety and will bark a lot when left alone, so he is not suitable for an apartment or kondo. While he is independent and content to relax on his own, he prefers to have you in sight and will be your constant shadow, always seeking attention but also happy to just hang out as long as you're nearby.
He is a well-mannered and well-behaved dog, fully potty trained, and enjoys a calm, quiet environment. Dipper would thrive in a home without small children, as he seems to prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. While he gets along with other dogs, he would be just as happy as the only pet in the household. He has no known prey drive or aggressive tendencies, so we believe he would likely do well with cats, although he hasn’t been tested with them.
Dipper would love a backyard to explore, but if you’re good about taking him on walks, it’s not a must. He has no known medical issues and is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. He is currently in rescue and will undergo a dental procedure on December 4th. His adoption fee is $300, which includes all vetting, including the dental care.
