My story

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

Meet Pip, a lovable 2-year-old tripod whose heart is as big as his playful energy! Pip's journey hasn't been easy, but he's taken every challenge in stride, now thriving with a tail that never stops wagging. He's discovered his love for toys, zoomies, and attention, showing all the goofy charm of a young dog who's just learned how fun life can be. Pip thrives on companionship, and there's nothing he loves more than being by your side, ready for a cuddle or a game. When playtime is over, he's a champion napper, lounging on the couch and snoring up a storm.


Pip is a quick learner and has made great progress with his training-he's mastered 'sit', 'down', and 'stand up' and is practicing his door and leash manners, showing his polite, eager-to-please nature. He's house-trained,is gentle with his toys, and tolerates being left in his crate when his foster mom is at work. Pip would thrive in a home with someone who can continue his training and give him plenty of love and attention.


Pip is a brave three-legged pup who lost a leg after surviving a traumatic injury. Because of his past, he's understandably cautious around strangers and would feel most comfortable in a calm, low-traffic home where he has the space and time to relax and feel safe. He's not a dog who loves bustling public spaces or big social gatherings but he's incredibly affectionate and playful in a familiar setting, bonding deeply with those he trusts. Whether he's entertaining you with his antics or melting into your lap after a long day, Pip is the kind of companion who fills your home with laughter and warmth. Could you be the one to give this sweet and joyful pup the safe and loving home he truly deserves?
