tipsy (special needs)

🍷❤️ Meet Tipsy — the little girl who is waiting for someone to see just how special she really is. ❤️🍷

Don’t let her name fool you—Tipsy hasn’t had a drop to drink! She just happens to be a little wobbly on her feet, which is how she got her name. 😂

Tipsy is a 5-ish-year-old, 22-pound French Bulldog who is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and happiest when she is close to her people. She loves attention, loves being included, and would happily spend her days curled up next to you, keeping you company.

But Tipsy is going to need something a little more special than the average dog.
She has some mobility quirks and incontinence, which means she may need diapers, extra clean-ups, and someone who is willing to give her the additional care she needs. We know that can sound like a lot. And honestly, it can be. But we also know that somewhere out there is a person who won't see a dog who is "too much work." They'll see
Tipsy. ❤️

They'll see the sweet little Frenchie who just wants to be loved.

They'll understand that sometimes love looks like changing a diaper. Sometimes it means cleaning up a mess without making her feel ashamed. Sometimes it means slowing down, making accommodations, and accepting that she may never be the perfectly healthy, carefree dog that someone else might be looking for.

And that's okay.

Because Tipsy doesn't need a perfect home.

She needs the right home.

She recently had a dental cleaning and is feeling much better with her sparkling smile. Her spay status is also a little uncertain—there is a possible spay scar, but it hasn't been 100% confirmed—so we'll continue monitoring her and may need to revisit that if she comes into heat.

Tipsy can also be selective about her canine friends. She has done best with smaller dogs and will need slow, thoughtful introductions to any potential roommates.

We know asking someone to take on a dog with extra needs is a big ask. But we've also seen time and time again that the dogs who need the most understanding can become the ones who mean the most.

Tipsy is looking for her person.
Someone patient. Someone compassionate. Someone who doesn't expect perfection. Someone who will look at her little wobbly walk, her incontinence, her quirks and all her imperfections and say:

“Yep. She's mine. I'll take care of her." ❤️

If you think you might be that person for Tipsy, please reach out.
She has spent enough time needing someone. Now she deserves to know what it feels like to finally be home. 🏡❤️
