If you ever wondered what a firecracker would look like in dog form, it would be Pippin. At 11 years old, this pup has the energy and sass of a dog half his age. And don’t bother telling him he’s only 9 pounds because he refuses to believe he’s smaller than a grizzly bear. He can get a little nervous walking on a leash with other dogs around, but why walk when you can play fetch? This little dude loves toys almost as much as he loves car rides, and he’s great with cats, which let’s be honest, is kind of amazing. He likes to be around people, so a home where he can hang out with his new family all the time would be the perfect place for this handsome pup.
We all need a little shine in our lives. Adopt Pippin and you’ll never have a day without a dash of sparkle.
Good with: people, car rides (he LOVES car rides), snacks, naps, toys, playing fetch

Breed: Papillon mix

More about this rescue
Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) is the only senior-only animal rescue in Maricopa County, Arizona. Formed in 2012 as a non-profit 501[c][3] organization, the focus of FLPS is to save senior animals who are often overlooked by providing them the opportunity to thrive in a safe and caring environment. FLPS serves a public need by offering housing to a limited number of senior pets.
This safe haven, takes the burden of temporary care and housing of senior animals off of local shelters. Inevitably, local shelters resort to euthanizing these abandoned, senior animals at an alarming rate. According to a 2012 statistics report, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC) euthanizes one animal every eight minutes it is open to the public. Euthanasia for senior residents is the primary option for most local shelters because they tend to focus their efforts on a high adoption model that includes younger “more adoptable” animals. FLPS works with local shelters and rescues to identify the senior animals in need and provide a streamlined process for interested men, women and families who wish to adopt.
