My story

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

Meet Pip!
Breed Guess: Dutch Sheperd/Boxer
Age: Young Adult...best guess is 2-3 years old
Weight: 52lbs,,,she is a perfect, petite,medium girl



Other Animals: Pip LOVES other dogs of all ages and sizes and will play very respectfully with them. She will adjust her play style to match who is there, from puppies to strong adults. She is submissive and adjusts beautifully to all dog personalities. She has a strong prey drive so any small animal is not a match for her forever home. 
Kids: She is great with kids!
House training: She is perfect and has never had an accident in the house
Exercise needs: Pip has a great energy level with a lot of get up and go, but then settles when she is home. She LOVES playing with other dogs so we would prefer a home where she has a lot of outlets to do that and/or a dog sibling or two. She has amazing leash skills and loves to be out and about, in the car, or on visits anywhere. You name it, Pip is up for the adventure!
What she's great at: Being respectful in the home, walking on leash, learning, and just about everything!
What she's working on: Not sure yet...she's pretty much ready to move in
Personality: Pip is upbeat, fun, sweet, submissive, respectful & a cuddle bug.  She loves cozy up next to her human on the couch!
Pip's Story: She was found roaming in traffic in Grand Cayman Island when a volunteer from the shelter drove by. She got out and was able to secure her after a lot of coaxing and brought Pip to safety. She fostered her for 7 months until we finally had room to take her in here. Dogs on the islands have a difficult time finding good homes so the volunteers go out of their way to get them to rescues in the states where they can have the homes they deserve. We feel honored to find the special family this girl so deserves!
Dream Home: Pip would thrive with loving, active humans who are social and want to include their dog in their daily activities. Pip is that rare find where she can be trusted to make you proud in almost any setting. She would love to have a fur sibling and friends and is pretty close to perfect. A true gem who is completely ready to meet you and move in. Please put an application in and let's set up a play date!

More about this rescue

FOSTER-BASED

All of our dogs are housed in loving foster homes until their forever family finds them.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

To provide safe harbor, medical care and love for adoptable dogs that have been abused, abandoned and neglected until they are placed into loving, responsible permanent homes; to decrease the need for senseless destroying of dogs by educating the public about the benefits of spaying & neutering; to build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness; to promote respect for life, responsible pet ownership and to encourage the higher ideals of compassion towards animals and people through education and example.

OUR COMMITMENT

Prior to adoption, each dog is spayed or neutered, receives a comprehensive veterinary examination and appropriate tests and inoculations. We conduct a thorough screening of all potential adopters to ensure the best possible match between healthy dogs and adoptive homes. We make a lifetime commitment to all of our rescued dogs. Our mission does not end with adoption. We follow up with advice, support and appropriate resources to assure a successful integration of each dog into his or her new home.
