Hello! My name is Pippa but I used to go by Gopher at the shelter I came from. I am excited to find my forever home. I’m not sure what breeds I am but my foster mom thinks maybe a mix of dachshund and terrier. I weigh about 13 lbs and don’t shed much at all. I am currently staying in a home with other adult dogs and another foster puppy and I love them all! My best friend is a giant Rottweiler. There are also a couple cats here. I don’t really know what to think of them so I admire them from a distance and they seem perfectly fine with that. I love kids and am gentle enough that they seem to love me too! I am energetic and love to play but also love when it’s time to cuddle on the couch for some tv time. I sometimes need a reminder that not everyone loves kisses though. I am working on walking on the leash and doing pretty well. I like to stop and sniff everything because I am just learning about this big ol’ world but a little tug on my harness gets me back in focus. I am doing pretty well with potty training. I never have accidents in my kennel, even overnight, but since I’m still a puppy I need to be taken out regularly to avoid accidents if I’m roaming free in the house. My perfect home would be somewhere with a friend to play with and room to safely run around. I have excellent recall but a fence would help keep me safe.To complete an adoption application, click here: /forms/form?formid=5879

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.
