Helloooo everyone...my name is Tipper. I am a black male, about 4 years old and I weigh 70 lbs. I came into rescue from a local shelter. I adjusted very well to the family's life and I am a very well behaved boy.

When it comes to affection I am all for it! I have a very sweet nature and sometimes I believe I could be a lap dog. When I see my favorite human working on the computer for too long, I am considerate and trying to make them take a break so I climb in their lap with halp of my body and sit there to have my chin rubbed or give some sweet kisses. I really enjoy being close to my family.

I am very calm and have a good temperament. I don't bark very much, not even when people come to the door. I have been socialized with other dogs and people. I do very well in crowded environments where there is a lot of people. I have been to a couple of dog friendly restaurants and everyone complimented me on how well behaved and sweet I was. Here at my foster home I live with 3 other labs and we get along well. I am not into them as much as I am into people though. I prefer being next to my people. I do occasionally play with them but only because I have to show them I am friendly. I like to say hi to other dogs and I am friendly. I get along with almost all dogs - the one time a dog was mean to me I growled a little bit and showed my teeth but I was not aggressive at all. I like all dogs and people especially if they are nice to me.

I have a high prey drive so when it comes to cats, I am unsure how to react. I should be placed in a family with no cats.

I am very low maintenance and very healthy. I enjoy walks and hikes and the company of people. Ideally I would go to a very active family that will continue to exercise me every day and take me for long walks, runs or hikes. I also like putting my nose out the window when riding in the back of the car to smell all the smells in the air and to feel the wind. I am hoping to find a family that has adults only or with kids over 15 yr old. You see, the little ones kind of make me unsure what to do. I would love to find a family where there is somebody that is home a lot, affectionate and likes to pet me and cuddle with me! Woof!!

If you think that I am the right guy for you, make sure you contact your family rep ASAP. I would love to have a new family for Christmas!!!

As you can see, we all dressed up very festive today. My friends here want me to have a new home by Christmas.
