Tipsy - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Hudson, Illinois

Meet Tipsy

Tipsy is a 2-year-old, 7.5-pound Chihuahua who walks like a drunk sailor. Thankfully, she doesn't swear like one!

We believe Tipsy has cerebellar hypoplasia, which basically means her brain and her feet don't always agree on where they're going. She can walk just fine-she just rarely travels in a straight line. She wobbles, she weaves, she gets where she's going eventually.

Tipsy is cuddly, sweet, and good with other dogs. She's okay in a crate and can absolutely go for walks, but she needs to be walked on a harness rather than a collar because of her unsteady gait.

We think she'd do best with older kids who understand that Tipsy is a little wobbly and may occasionally zig when everyone expected her to zag. Cats are unknown.

Her wobble isn't something she knows is different. As far as Tipsy is concerned, this is exactly how walking works. Just FYI: her level of "drunk" will always be the same. Cerebellar hypoplasia never gets worse. Video in comments.
