About PippaARR

Meet PippaARR, a charming Shih Tzu and a sweet puppy mill survivor ready to embrace her new life. This gentle dog has a calm demeanor and enjoys being close to her people, often curling up in their laps for comfort. While she may initially be shy, Pippa's loving nature shines through once she feels at ease. She thrives on daily walks but also relishes cuddle time. It's essential to keep her on a consistent potty schedule, as she prefers to do her business during walks or in a yard. A secure, physically fenced yard will help her adjust, especially as she's still developing her leash skills. Pippa interacts well with dogs of all sizes and can transition to a home either with or without a canine companion. While she enjoys playtime, her happiest moments are when people are nearby. She's learning to wait patiently for mealtime, celebrating with joyful jumps. Adoptive families must be patient as Pippa adjusts to being alone; a household where someone is often present would suit her best. She's currently in Pataskala, OH, and has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. This timid yet affectionate pup is eager for a calm home where she can learn the joys of companionship. Give Pippa the safe and loving environment she deserves. Think you might be the right fit? Apply today!
