My story

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

Pip

Pip is a Male Chihuahua Mix
DOB: August 1st, 2024
Adoption fee: $200.00

I am a little pip squeak. I currently weigh between 6-7 pounds, but I am a puppy and could be anywhere between 15-20 pounds at full size. (best guess) For my size, I am a rambunctious puppy. I love to run and play. I can be a little rough with other pups. I may match with another small dog who is seriously looking for a playmate. A meet and greet is required prior to adoption. I may puppy chase cats. With a proper introduction I should adjust to a dog friendly cat.

I may be okay with children 8 years pending observed interaction and previous exposure to small dogs/applicant's small dog experience. I will need leash training and may do my best with a physically (secure) fenced yard. I may require a physical fence pending location and previous small dog experience.

I am young, active, playful and pretty fast for a little guy. I do slow down for pets and affection, but it's not long before I am recharged and ready to play.

Countless area residents use the Society’s animal care, adoption and education programs each year. The Humane Society is overseen by a board of directors. We do not receive any government or tax dollars, or national humane organization funding. Our services are made possible by people in our community who care about homeless cats and dogs - people like you!
