About Pippa

Meet Pippa, a young female Labrador Retriever and mixed breed who just arrived from a high-intake shelter. She’s still settling in, and our staff is eager to understand her personality better over the next few days. Currently, Pippa is pending interactions with other animals until she’s cleared by our vet, so we’ll update her bio as we learn more. Potential adopters should note that we typically aren't aware of training status upon arrival, including house and leash training. If you're interested in welcoming Pippa into your home, please fill out an adoption questionnaire! We handle adoptions on a first-come, best-match basis, so it’s best to act quickly. Everyone in your household, including children and other pets, should be present for the meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility. Should you find a good match, same-day adoptions are encouraged! The adoption fee of $275 covers her spay surgery, microchip, vaccinations, and more. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
