About Kip

Meet Kip, the charming 2-year-old male Dachshund mix on the hunt for his forever home. Weighing in at 11.3 pounds, this affectionate pup has a playful spirit and a knack for winning hearts. He’s been thriving in a loving foster home as the shelter was too overwhelming for him. Kip forms strong bonds with his humans and adores playtime with squeaky toys or chasing critters outside. He even brings the ball right back to your hand during fetch! Kip loves his walks and snuggling with his people, though he can show a mischievous side when left unsupervised, like many dogs do. However, his intelligence makes training a breeze. He is crate trained and potty trained, sleeping soundly in his crate at night. This delightful dog promises to bring joy to any family lucky enough to adopt him. If you’re in search of a playful snuggle-bug, adorable little Kip may be just the match for you! Kip is currently in a foster home, so reach out to daniz.hslwr@gmail.com if you're ready to give him a forever home!
