Meet Pippa, a sweet puppy mill survivor who is learning how wonderful life can be as a cherished companion. She loves laps, cuddles, daily walks, and staying close to her people. Though shy at first, her gentle and loving personality emerges once she feels comfortable.

Pippa has low-to-moderate energy and is occasionally playful with dogs of all sizes. She can live with or without another dog, though a canine companion may offer reassurance when her family is away. She enjoys chew toys and is especially enthusiastic about mealtime.

Ideal Home

Pippa needs a calm, patient home with a secure, physically fenced yard. Someone should be home most of the time, as she can become anxious and bark when left alone. Her family should be willing to help her gradually build confidence.

Ongoing Health

Pippa has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, distemper/parvo, canine influenza, and Bordetella, and tested negative for heartworm. She is on monthly heartworm prevention and has had a dental cleaning.

Training & Support

Pippa is making progress with housetraining on a consistent potty schedule and is accustomed to pottying both during walks and in a yard. She is still learning leash skills and is learning to sit and wait patiently for meals with gentle, positive reinforcement. She rests nicely in her crate while her family is home and is generally comfortable outside the crate when they leave.
