Kip is the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. He came into our care as a stray with a broken leg that had healed incorrectly, leaving him in constant pain. Since his amputation, Kip has truly come to life. The relief on his face said it all. He’s been nothing but happy, affectionate, and full of love ever since.

Kip absolutely adores people and believes every moment is better with cuddles involved. He lights up every room he walks into with his goofy personality and happy spirit. He loves dogs of all sizes and ages, enjoys playtime, knows “sit,” has decent recall, and is eager to keep learning. But if you ask Kip what his favorite hobby is? It’s using his nose to sniff out the best things in life. This special tripod boy has so much love to give and is ready to find a family who will adore him just as much as he’ll adore them.
