About Kip

Kip is the perfect companion for those who enjoy leisurely strolls with a dash of affection. At about a year old and around 30 pounds, she’s spayed and fully up to date on her vaccinations. Living in an apartment hasn’t been a challenge for her; she waits quietly in her crate, content until her people return home. Although she’s a bit shy when meeting new people, Kip quickly warms up once she feels safe. Not only is she smart, but she’s also mastered commands like sit, down, paw, and fetch. She walks beautifully on a leash, making outings enjoyable. Kip currently shares her space with a cat and gets along well with other dogs. While she has a classic herding instinct, she’s also a gentle soul at heart. If you’re looking for a sweet companion for walks, a bit of fetch, and cozy couch time, Kip might just be the girl for you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
