Pippa - Mixed Breed and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Pelham, New Hampshire

Meet Pippa!

Pippa is an absolutely precious 8 week old mixed breed puppy, possibly with some Australian Shepherd in her, and she is the tiniest little peanut weighing just 2 pounds! She’s the runt of her litter, but don’t let her tiny size fool you, this little girl has a whole lot of love to give! Her mama was a beautiful 35 pound Shepherd mix, and while we’re estimating the litter to be around 30 to 40 pounds full grown, Pippa’s adult size is especially difficult to predict given how much smaller she is than her siblings. Dad is a complete mystery!

Pippa and her four siblings came into rescue following an accidental litter, and these sweet babies are now getting their chance at wonderful forever homes. Pippa is the little cuddle bug of the bunch! She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves being close to her people. She’s a little needier than her siblings and would happily soak up all the snuggles and attention you have to give her. She’s playful, too, and loves spending time with her furry friends!

Pippa has been raised in a loving foster home where she’s getting plenty of socialization. She’s doing wonderfully with other dogs, cats, children, and people, and she’s learning all about the world around her. She’s also a smart little girl who is eager to please! She’s beginning house training and crate training, and her forever family will need to continue those puppy basics with patience, consistency, and lots of love.

Pippa and her siblings experienced some hair loss due to fleas before coming into rescue, but they’ve since been treated, and their beautiful coats are growing back wonderfully! Pippa will be spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and will have her health certificate prior to adoption.

This tiny little sweetheart is going to make someone an incredibly special companion. If you’re looking for a loving, cuddly, playful puppy to grow up with, Pippa might just steal your heart!

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
