Pippa - Boxer Dog for Adoption in Clyde, North Carolina

Meet Pippa!

We found Pippa alone in the woods. She was scared, but this wise little girl waited for us and ultimately chose to follow my husband out of the woods and to safety. She has believed he hung the moon ever since. It’s a full reunion every time she sees him.

And that might be the sweetest clue to who Pippa really is: this girl wants HER person. She has that wonderful velcro-dog heart. She wants to be your sidekick, running buddy, adventure buddy, car-ride copilot, couch snuggler, and little shadow around the house. She is affectionate, hilarious, athletic, incredibly smart, eager to please, and she loves BIG.

Pippa is house-trained, sleeps beautifully in her crate, does well crated when we leave for short periods, shows no signs of separation anxiety, and rides great in the car. She has settled right into life with our four other dogs and two cats and is wonderful with our 6-year-old daughter. She’s also getting plenty of farm-life exposure to donkeys, chickens, visitors, noises, and all sorts of new experiences.

With kids, Pippa would do best with a gentle, dog-savvy kiddo who understands and respects dogs. She can get excited and mouthy during play and is still learning that jumping paws and little humans don’t always mix.

She knows some commands and would really benefit from the bonding and guidance of obedience training. Her leash skills are still a work in progress, but she is SO smart and eager to please.

One important Pippa fact: GIRL CAN ZOOM. She needs a truly secure fenced yard with no gaps or easy escape routes and enough height to contain her athletic little self when the zoomies hit.

There is just something special about this little dog. She came out of those woods and stepped so bravely into a whole new life, and she has absolutely blossomed. Now she needs the person who gets to be hers for good. Someone to run with, learn with, adventure with, curl up beside, and absolutely adore.

Pippa is ready to love her person BIG for the rest of her life.
