My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pippa: Young and sweet! Pippa was left in the pen overnight with a bag of food and leash….but was sadly leaking milk and clearly had given birth to pups very recently.

We are happy to now have this sweet and gentle girl safe and cared for with us and know that she will get her REAL FOREVER home because she is just fantastic! She passed her professional evaluation with an easy/green rating and is playful with cats and dogs and has been interacting regularly with kids and is very well mannered and calm.

She is petite and in her face we can detect a hint of a bulldog or boxer bloodline that gives her a most unique little smile and adorable head.

She is still tentative in her kennel and the shelter scares her a bit so we are putting her in the yard as much as possible with a few of our playful young dogs where (unlike in her video) she is exuberant, joyful, silly, and fast as a bullet and can outrun all our dogs!!!! Please check back for more videos of Pippa playing with other dogs so you can also see how she blossoms when in a more natural dog environment.

She is an expert cuddle-bunny, has not only the softest fur but also the temperament to match. She is one of those special dogs that is an ambassador for ALL dogs regardless of breed and we want the absolute best for her. Hurry down to meet this special volunteer favorite ASAP….she is the total package!
