Today’s dog is Pippa, a three-five year-old brindle girl with a splash of white on her nose and white toes. She’s a playful, affectionate dog who absolutely loves toys!

Pippa was found lactating and skinny on a porch in the Spring Garden section of Philadelphia, her puppies were nowhere in sight. Pippa doesn’t hold her past against people though. She doesn’t mind being handled all over and is happy to meet everyone.

Pippa has clearly had no obedience training in her prior life. Currently, Pippa’s working on leash manners and leash training with her Pen Pal. While Pippa can be super excited to be outside at first, she does settle down and absolutely loves rolling around in the grass with a toy in her mouth.

When meeting cats, Pippa was friendly and loose, but chances are she will want to play with any cat she lives with so she probably shouldn’t be placed with cats right now. Pippa has done excellently with all the dogs she has met at the shelter, both on leash and off, male and female. She’s playful but also happy to walk next to another dog without being rude.

Pippa would love to go to a home with dog experience where she can continue learning all the skills dogs need to know (and where toys will be plentiful).
