About Pippin

Pippin is an affectionate 8-year-old who loves nothing more than snuggling on the floor with his humans. Despite his age, he's full of energy, chasing squirrels and playfully following you from room to room. This loyal companion adores being part of the family and has no aggression towards people, aside from a few barks at the mailman. However, Pippin has a strong prey drive, making it crucial for him to be the only pet in the household. He’s trained to use an e-collar for focused walks and would thrive in a home with a yard where he can lounge. While he is kennel trained and sleeps soundly through the night, it's important to feed him a salmon-based diet due to specific allergies. Pippin is great with older children, bringing fun and joy into their lives with his 85-pound bulk. He’s ready to bring love and warmth to a family looking for a dedicated companion. Consider welcoming this amazing pup into your home!
