About Pippa

Pippa is a 4-year-old terrier mix with adorable rat and JRT features. Weighing about 25 lbs, this sweet girl is a gentle companion who loves to snuggle up on a soft blanket next to her humans. Although she's still becoming familiar with leash walks, she manages well. Pippa is dog friendly and prefers curling up rather than engaging in rough play, showing her gentle nature. She enjoys the company of children and might start out a bit shy with new adults, but once she's comfortable, her loving personality shines through. Her adorable underbite adds to her charm. Pippa's previous owner surrendered her after her puppies were weaned, but she's ready for a loving home where she can be part of the family. Click apply to start the adoption process.
