Pippin

Pippin is a very intelligent little guy that just craves companionship. He is very affectionate and loves to give kisses and
snuggle up to show his love. Pippin is very low maintenance and doesn’t need much except his humans. Warning he’s very clever and will have you wrapped around his pinky toe doing his every whim since he’s adorable unless you set clear limits and rules.

Pippin is friendly with dogs, he would be happy living with other dogs or as a solo dog. Pippin has a prey drive, he would do best with a cat free home. Pippin is uncomfortable with some handling, he requires a home with older children or no children. Pippin is a low energy guy, he loves his neighborhood walks and short greenbelt trails.

Pippin is crate trained but he much prefer to be with his people, having people home more often is a preference for him and he would not enjoy being left home alone for full work days. Pippin is potty trained. Pippin is uncomfortable and scared with some handling like grooming, putting on and off a harness and sometimes the leash. His foster family has been working on positive associations with things that scare him, he will need a family who is committed to continuing with this training. Pippin had to have all his teeth removed, he requires a diet of soft food. Pippin does great in the car.

Pippin is a charmer! Most people who meet him are instantly enamoured by his sweet nature. He loves belly rubs or snuggling up curled up in your arms when you are on the couch. Pippin is ready to be his forever family’s ultimate companion.
