About Pippa

Pippa is a 4-year-old Rat Terrier who weighs about 14 pounds. With a feisty personality, she has the demeanor of someone who confidently critiques TV shows while entertaining her humans. Expect her to engage with the characters on-screen, offering her insights on all plot twists. Her involvement doesn’t stop at the television; she takes her outside responsibilities seriously too. Pippa loves walks and has a keen eye on any suspicious yard activity. Her experience as a squirrel counterintelligence agent adds a playful layer to her adventurous spirit, and she is truly house trained, crate trained, and trustworthy when left loose. Affectionate and eager to please, she does well with people and children, often curling up in laps after a day of her busy “Rat Terrier business.” However, Pippa has strict boundaries regarding her space. She gets along with dogs her size or larger but firmly declines any engagement with smaller dogs or cats. This makes her a picky companion, but also a uniquely lovable one. If you appreciate humor, kindness, and an articulate pup, Pippa might just be what you’re looking for. Keep in mind she's not suited for homes with small animals.
