Pretty & Peaceful Pippa

Needs a quieter, loving home.

Pippa is a sweet soul looking for a gal-pal or mature couple to “begin forever” again. She’s loyal and loving, but she wasn’t socialized a lot; now her owner is remarried and there are grandkids in and out - this wasn’t part of the plan for Pippa, it’s making her nervous and anxious — and and that’s why we are trying to help!

I evaluated Pippa the week before Christmas. She met my big male who’s not that friendly and my little female and Pippa was great with them. I think ideally she’d like to be the only dog, but maybe it would be fine if there was a middle-aged or older male canine companion.

Pippa loves to run around in the yard chasing squirrels or birds. She’s still active in that way although she’s put on weight and needs to get back into a little bit better shape; leash-walking in a less busy area would be really good for her that’s something she really enjoys.

Pippa is a very loyal dog and loves her family. She’s smart and wants to please. She is not motivated by food, rather she thrives on praise.

Pippa was also adopted during Covid. There wasn’t any way to do formal training with her. I know that there’s someone out there who is meant to find this sweet loving dog who knows commands, is obviously house trained, doesn’t demand a lot of of anything which is a good quality in an Aussie!

If you know, someone who would consider Pippa, please share!

if you’re interested in meeting Pippa for adoption please complete the application on the website site below then

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities.

We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a shelter - we accept online applications and either have individuals meet at foster homes or we will bring dogs to a safe, fenced neutral area - depends on situation.

More about this rescue

I am the Executive Director - I started DASH with a select group of co-rescuing friends and neighbors because we saw a need to rescue very adoptable dogs from Death Rows at municipal shelters and believe through foster care we can work with and train these dogs to be ideal family pets.
