Tippy - Chocolate Labrador Retriever and Pointer Dog for Adoption in Corbin, Kentucky

I'm Tippy, a 1-year-old chocolate Labrador Retriever mix with energy and heart to spare! At 40 pounds, I'm the perfect size for active families ready to grow with me as I mature. I'm young, spirited, and eager to learn - I just need a patient owner who can channel my enthusiasm into training and play. I'm not yet spayed, but that's on the agenda before I head home with you. Come meet me and let's start an adventure together!

ALL ANIMALS MUST BE SPAYED/NEUTERED BEFORE ADOPTION.

Before you click "Apply for Adoption," understand that it only serves only as an adoption inquiry and pre-screening form and does not guarantee a response, approval, or adoption. A meet-and-greet with the animal is required to proceed with adoption. We strongly encourage interested adopters to visit the shelter in person during regular business hours to inquire about available pets. All adoptions are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. We are unable to hold or reserve animals for any reason. If an animal is listed on our website, it is currently available; however, availability may change at any time. Notifying us of your intent to visit, scheduling a visit, or submitting this inquiry form does not reserve or place a hold on an animal. Animals may be adopted by another party prior to your arrival.

Please stop by for a meet-and-greet to make sure the dog is a good fit for you. We always encourage you to bring along any fur family members that you may have some concerns about to the meet-and-greet, so nobody is surprised that there is an unwelcome guest in their home!

You DO NOT have to schedule an appointment for a meet-and-greet. Animals are adopted on a first-come-first served basis. Just stop by anytime during our hours which are
TUESDAYS 11-4
WEDNESDAYS 10-2
THURSDAYS 10-2
FRIDAYS 11-4
SATURDAYS 10-2
CLOSED SUN & MON

Our dog adoption fees are $120, which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and first round of vaccines.

After the initial meet-and-greet, if the dog is not already spayed/neutered, you will place a $30 deposit which ensures that the dog will be adopted by YOU! This comes off of the total adoption price, leaving your remaining fee of $90 to pay when you pick-up after the neuter.

If you have any questions about the specifics of any pup listed, please reach out to us and we will answer them to the best of our ability. We typically do not have any background history on the animals that come to us as far as previous medical history, whether they are potty-trained, etc.

We may not know the animals' pasts here, but we try to re-write their future by finding loving homes for them!
