WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Pippa’s journey began on a massive urgent list of 50 dogs who needed out within days. We were ready to foster, but every dog we lined up kept getting scooped up. And then… there she was—stoic, timid, heartbreakingly quiet in her video. Wiggles Way Rescue swooped in with just hours to spare, and Pippa was whisked into our home. What a gift she’s turned out to be.
Day one, she shadowed us—head low, leaning in for quiet reassurance. Day two, a gentle wag and braver eye contact. Day three… her very first kiss. Watching her blossom has been pure magic.
🌟 The Pippa Package:
Calm, peaceful energy—equal parts cuddle bug and sunbather
Kid-approved (lives with an elementary-aged human)
Gets along with her canine siblings (medium-sized seniors)
Follows you from room to room like a polite shadow
Doesn’t jump—on people or furniture (fancy manners)
House-trained, crate-comfortable, non-destructive
Loves bones and chews, no guarding issues
City-living approved—no yard necessary
Prefers calm, patient homes—still learning to trust
Outside, she walks well on leash but may bark a friendly “Hi!” to new acquaintances before remembering her inside voice. With treats and a little time, she’ll be a total pro.
Pippa is the kind of dog who makes you cancel plans just to stay home with her. Loyal, low-maintenance, and full of quiet grace—she’ll have you wondering, how did I get so lucky?
ADOPTION CONSIDERATIONS: Pippa would do best in a home with another resident dog to help her come out of her shell and gain confidence.

Our adoption process begins with an application! Once we receive your application, we will get started on completing a vet reference (if applicable) & landlord check (if applicable). Once those steps are complete, we will schedule a time to talk to you on the phone about what you are looking for & we will suggest some of the animals in our care that could be a match for your lifestyle! If you’ve applied for a specific animal, we will discuss them & work together to determine if this is the right fit for your lifestyle.
