My story

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

This is Pip.

I love this dog, but life circumstances mean that I can no longer care for him. It breaks my heart.
I'm hoping Pip can find a loving home for him (and Ideally his brother-in-paw) to live out the rest of his days. Pip is 9, so he still has a lot of life left in him. The good is that he's the best cuddler ever, he's very caring and sweet. He loves to play and frankly would benefit from more exercise and attention than I've been able to provide for him.

Unfortunately, Pip is a kind of rescue and has some baggage from his earlier life. In particular he is very anxious, (especially towards men) and has been on a years long journey to improve his barking and nipping. In addition, his front right leg has a limp from a previous injury that never healed quite right. He still maintains a happy life, but he's especially neurotic when his leg is agitated.

Pip has been a very kind loving soul in my life. I deeply regret that I have to let him go, he deserves the best.
