My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A special young boy with lots of energy. I'm deaf but not letting that stop me one bit. I'm working on hand signals and catching on to sit, stay and down. I have lived with dogs and cats before and I am very food driven. Get ready to receive lots of kisses. Just point to your cheek, and you'll be covered in kisses.

A team member notes: I spent time with Pip in his room. He was delighted to see me and was very energetic for a few minutes, then settled down and had restrained energy or was calm. He is very people oriented: he stayed right with me. He is indeed food driven and wanted lots of treats. He did "sit" and "down" with hand signals, including an enthusiastic "down", and gave me a few kisses. He would love a home with an active lifestyle.

Five Fun Facts about your future pet!
Howdy! My name is Pip and I wanna tell you a little about myself that will for sure get you to adopt me. One thing I do want you to know is that I'm a special boy. I'm deaf but that won't stop me from playing with all of my puppy pals and going on walks with the hoomans. I can also show you some of my tricks such as laying down and sit but I will surprise you with some more tricks. One fun thing that I love to do when I go to the doggy park is jump in the pool. I am not picky about my treats my favorites are hot dogs and cheese. I hope you will come and see how special I am and take me home with you!
