About Tipper

Adoption Fee: $100
Australian Shepherd
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Tipper is a good happy boy, unfortunately our life has changed a lot in the last 6 months and we believe this has led to some aggression. We are hoping to get him into an appropriate home before his aggression gets worse or turns towards our 3 months old. We moved houses, got him neutered, and had a baby within 3 months of each other since then he has been aggressive at the fence with our neighbors male dogs. He has successfully broken pieces of the fence off resulting in him hurting himself ( he currently has a scratch by his eye and a cut on his nose), before this he grazed my mom when she was here trying to pull him away from the fence, has grazed my husband, and snapped at me when trying to get him away from the fence so he didn't break through and get hurt or hurt the neighbors dogs. Though he is the sweetest most cuddly dog, now that he has shown aggression we do not think it is safe for our 3 months old . He does great with our smaller, older female dog (sometimes he plays a little rougher than she likes but he has never hurt her!). He loves all people who have come over to our house ( he will get excited and jump). He's had training and knows the commands: sit, place, down, and crate. He is up to date on his vaccinations. We think he would do best with someone who is home a lot and doesn't have neighbors with dogs. He hasn't spent a lot of time with kids so we are unsure how he would do in a home with children
