Pippa Love Secret Keeper

Soft-eyed, soulful, and quietly full of love... this is Pippa Love. She has one of those faces that makes you pause for a second, and then those eyes take over completely. They are the kind of eyes that look like they could keep your secrets and your whole life story with understanding and love. Pippa has a calm, tender presence about her, and while she likes to take it a little slower at first, there is something very special waiting on the other side of that trust.

Pippa Love is estimated to be around 2.5 years old and weighs 66 lbs. She appears to be a Catahoula and Pittie mix, though with rescue, breed and age are always our best guess. What we do know is that she is a loving girl with a gentle spirit, a calm way about her, and the kind of sweetness that feels even more meaningful because it is earned slowly and honestly. She is not the kind of dog who barges into the room and demands the spotlight. She is the kind who quietly becomes your whole world. The kind you look over at one day and realize you cannot imagine the house without her in it. The kind whose soft eyes and gentle heart sneak up on you in the very best way.

Ideal Home

Pippa would likely do well in a home with a medium-energy dog who enjoys a little running and play, especially one who can help show her the ropes without overwhelming her. She would also likely enjoy a home with a yard or a quieter, more suburban-style apartment setting where she can settle in at her own pace.

Ongoing Health

Pippa is up-to-date on all vetting, including DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, and a 12-month heartworm preventative injection. She has also tested negative for heartworm.

Training & Support

Pippa is easygoing and enjoyable on leash; she is more of a leisurely stroller than a power walker. She loves a little guided sweet talk and does not thrive under stern pressure, so keep it sweet. Harsh corrections or too stern a voice can be upsetting for her. What she really needs is someone who understands that confidence with new routines or places is not rushed, it is built. Give her kindness and patience, and she will show you her quiet confidence. With other dogs, Pippa takes introductions slow and steady but quickly softens into a playful, light-hearted girl who loves a good round of chase. She is thoughtful at first, but once comfortable, she knows how to have fun. She adjusts her playstyle beautifully to suit other dogs, whether they are small and nervous or larger and more boisterous. She does not overcorrect or overmanage other dogs in playgroups.
