WASHINGTON TWP. — A skittish dog corralled after she was found running on a busy stretch of I-75 in Miami County last week is now staying with a potential adoptive family, according to a spokesperson for SICSA Pet Adoption Center.

The dog, now named Tippie because of the area where she was recovered, has been with SICSA since last week after she was found running on the highway.
“She is on a slumber party,” the spokesperson said. “What this means is that a person/family is taking her to their home for an agreed upon amount of time to see how Tippie does in their home and with their family before actually adopting.”
People interested in looking into the adoption process can contact the SICSA Pet Adoption Center in Washington Twp.
Tippie was found February 17 running on I-75 between Tipp City and Vandalia and was corralled by a state trooper who was driving in the area.
Sgt. Jeff Kramer of the Piqua Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol saw that Tippie was skittish and used a bologna sandwich he packed for his lunch to calm the dog and get a makeshift leash around her neck.
