About Pippi

Meet Pippi, a 9-month-old Wire Fox Terrier with a vibrant personality and an even bigger heart. This spirited puppy is full of energy and loves to play hard, but she also knows how to cuddle up after a long day of fun. She's spayed and up to date on her vaccinations, and while she’s paper trained, she’s ready to learn housetraining with a family that can provide her with focused attention. Pippi has a congenital heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) that she manages well with inexpensive daily medication. She can sometimes get out of breath while playing, so she’ll need a watchful eye to ensure she gets timely breaks. Despite her condition, Pippi lives life to the fullest and spreads joy everywhere she goes. She would thrive best in a safe environment, ideally with a big dog brother to look up to, and caring owners who are comfortable with her daily medication and committed to her training. If you have a big heart and the patience to help this extraordinary girl, you might just be the family she’s been waiting for. Is your heart big enough for Pippi? Start your journey together today!
