About Pippy

Pippy is a delightful Yorkshire Terrier who recently came to us from MCACC. She had some mammary masses, but great news: her biopsy results were clear of cancer. Pippy also battled severe ear infections, which we are monitoring. Due to chronic dry eye (KCS), she will need drops for life, so her adopter should be prepared for ongoing care. Despite these challenges, Pippy shines with her sweet, gentle demeanor. At around 7 years old and weighing about 6 lbs, she’s the perfect size to carry around comfortably. Pippy is house trained, walks well on a leash, and has good house manners. She is also crate-trained for short periods. Regular bathroom breaks will help her adjust further, as she's not yet able to use a dog door. Ready for a loving home, Pippy would truly blossom in a warm environment. Apply today if you’re interested in making her part of your family.
