About Pippin

Meet Pippin, a charming Chow Chow looking for a fresh start. Due to some personality clashes with his current family, he's seeking a loving home where he can thrive. Pippin would do best as an only dog or with a female companion, and while he’s neutered and housebroken, he does need guidance on leash manners and prefers a harness. He's accustomed to being an indoor dog, enjoying the comforts of home without the use of chains. Pippin is a sweet boy who can be a bit spirited at times, particularly with other pets, so previous experience with Chows would be a great asset for his new adopters. He's got a delightful long coat that will require some grooming to keep him looking sharp. Located in Foley, MO, Pippin is ready to find his forever home. Think you can provide the love he deserves?
