Here's what the humans have to say about me:
UPDATED POST 5/30/24. (Posted on 11/21/23). Pippi came to us together with her little canine sister Alda from a local animal shelter. Pippi is about 8.5 years old, weighs between 6-7 lbs. and in excellent shape. She is simply sinkin' cute, super adorable, cuddly and always ready for an adventure with her buddy Alda and /or with her human. Pippi gets along great with everybody and everything, she is great around other dogs and she is just fine with cats. Needless to say, she comes with a mighty personality and has no idea how tiny she really is. She must greet everybody with loud "who are you?" barking. She can be a bit shy initially but warms up very quickly especially if you have a treat! Her foster mom reports that Pippi has made good progress with her potty habits - having her on a regular schedule helps a lot! However she does mark her territory when she has to share the space with other dogs. We cannot guarantee that she won't have accidents as she was used to just going in the house. Pippi is a lot of fun to have around and she wants to be near her human as much as possible. She likes to curl up in a cozy blanket on the couch, she loves going for walks and she likes to go outside in the yard and bark at whatever deserves it. She is excellent in the car. Pippi came to the nest together with Alda, a 4 year old Yorkie/Chihuahua mix. The two are used to each others' company and especially Alda feels a bit lost without Pippi. However we have learned over time that as long as either one of them gets plenty of attention they are fine by themselves. We have been looking for a good match for quite a while now and we are ready to separate them if it is the right match. For Pippi (and Alda) we are looking for a home with fairly active humans who like to go for walks and who can play with the pup(s) in and outside the house. Both are good in the car and enjoy outings. For Pippi (and Alda) we need a home with a securely fenced in yard and no children under the age of 12. Pippi is current on vaccinations including Rabies, she is spayed, she is micro chipped, she tested negative for heartworm and she is on heartworm/flea/tick preventative. If you are interested in adopting Pippi please fill out an adoption application on our web site inthenest.net. If you don't hear from us within 48 hours of submitting the form please contact us via email at inthenest@gmail.com If we think it is a promising fit we will contact you via e-mail or phone. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have and we can also send more pictures.
Pippi's adoption fee is $200.
