About Togepi

Togepi is the sister of Charmander and Bulbasaur, and she stands out for her gentle, affectionate nature. She’s shy and submissive with new people, but once she knows she’s safe, her sweet side shines through. Togepi isn’t very socialized yet and feels uneasy about collars; however, she walks well on a harness and appreciates the structure it provides. Sensitive to sound, she benefits from a calm environment and a steady routine. Smart and eager to follow a strong leader, Togepi responds well to training, especially when treats are involved. Underneath her shyness is a truly loving, mellow dog who will attach deeply to her person. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
