My story

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

Meet Kipp – The Sweetest Gentleman You’ll Ever Meet 🐶❤️

Looking for a loyal, mellow, and affectionate companion? Kipp is your guy.

At around 80 pounds of pure sweetness, Kipp is the kind of dog that makes you wonder how you ever lived without him. While technically a “senior,” he doesn’t act like it—he still has a sparkle in his eye and enough spunk to keep up on neighborhood strolls or backyard ball time. We think he’s a mix of Cattle Dog, Australian (Red Heeler), and Queensland Heeler—aka, a handsome blend of smarts and loyalty.

Kipp walks like a dream on leash (no pulling, even for a big guy!) and already knows basic commands like sit and down. He’s treat-motivated and showing signs of interest in chasing after a ball—there might be a hidden retriever in there! Whether you’re working from home or simply looking for a calm, well-mannered best friend, Kipp is ready to fill your life with quiet joy, loving companionship, and the occasional zoomie.

We may not know Kipp’s backstory, but we do know this: he deserves the best next chapter. He’d thrive in a home with a moderate activity level, where he can enjoy daily walks, playtime, and lots of love.

Ready to make your house a home with Kipp? Apply to adopt and come meet this true gentleman today.
