Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pippin / 3y 9m / Male / Shih Tzu / WEIGHT 16 lbs (7 kgs) / Owner Surrender / Currently fostered in North York
Good with independent dogs/cats/kids / House and crate trained / Major Medical Concerns: None
Is your lap feeling like a cold, empty wasteland this winter? Fear not, because Pippin, your future cuddle buddy, is here to turn that frigid expanse into a warm and fuzzy paradise! Whether he’s napping in your lap or snoozing near your feet while you pretend to be productive, Pippin is your ultimate home buddy. Just be warned—he may sound like a tiny alarm system barking at anyone new who dares to step inside his fortress! He thinks it’s his job to alert you of any potential invaders, but once he decides you’re not a threat, he’ll shower you with all the love a little doggo can muster. Get ready for a lifetime of devotion and a warm lap!
Pippin’s favorite activities include snuggling, cuddling, napping, belly rubs, and oh, did we mention more cuddling? He’s always up for a stroll, even in the icy winds that could freeze a snowman’s smile, as long as he’s dressed like a fashionable winter pup in boots and a jacket. With his low energy levels, he doesn’t need much entertainment — he's really more of a lounging connoisseur than a toy enthusiast. In fact, if you try to engage him in a game of fetch, he might just give you the “do I look like a puppy to you?” look! Fortunately, he can happily hold down the fort alone if you need to dash out for work or on a taco run. However, if you decide to take him along, buckle him in—if he has the chance, he’ll turn into a furry co-pilot, crawling right into your lap and trying to help steer with his adorable little paws!
Pippin dreams of settling down in a quiet neighbourhood where he can be the king of the castle and avoid having too many visitors. He would prefer to be the only pet getting all the attention—talk about being the center of the universe! He might tolerate another dog, a cat, or even well-behaved kids, but only if they understand his personal space bubble—because God forbid anyone should try to engage him in wild play; he has a strict “no fun allowed” policy!
This little velcro pup is on a mission to cuddle you into oblivion, all while maintaining his royal lap status. If your lap has a vacancy and you’re ready for an abundance of love (and quite possibly a lick or two), don’t hesitate to apply to meet him at www.caninehaven.org/dog-application.Your warm, cozy winter awaits!
