About Pippa

Meet Pippa! This playful 8-month-old Texas Heeler mix is a bundle of energy and personality. Weighing approximately 35–40 pounds, she’s always ready for action, whether it’s racing around the backyard or engaging in some rough-and-tumble play with her foster brothers. After these fun adventures, she loves to curl up for a solid nap, showcasing her remarkable ability to play hard and sleep hard. Pippa is incredibly smart and eager to learn. While she's shown some shyness in unfamiliar situations, with patience and positive reinforcement, she’ll become a great adventure buddy. Fully housebroken and crate trained, she sleeps soundly in her crate when her humans are away. However, keep an eye on her during leash walks, as she’s a clever little escape artist when startled. Food is a serious passion for Pippa. She eats from a slow-feeder bowl, ensuring meal times are structured. Active humans and another playful dog will be perfect for her. While she’s lived with cats before without issue, slow introductions to any new small animals are essential. Pippa's lively spirit and intelligence make her an amazing companion for a loving family willing to embrace her zest for life. Think Pippa is the right match for you?
