About Pipper
Meet Pipper, a delightful 10-month-old female dog with a hint of mystery to her breed. At the shelter, we suspect Pipper may be a mix of Mexican Hairless Dog and possibly some Blue Heeler, but her exact heritage remains a bit of a puzzle. Despite the uncertainty, one thing is clear—Pipper is brimming with youthful energy and affection!
Pipper thrives when she's out and about, eagerly engaging with her handler and soaking up all the attention. While she may struggle in confined spaces like her pen at the shelter, Pipper's energy settles down when she's in the company of a person. She's incredibly affectionate and enjoys being close to her human companions.
With a medium energy level, Pipper would benefit from regular walks or even some more vigorous exercise to help burn off her energy. She's great at meeting new people and dogs, showing a neutral demeanor during interactions. However, she may exhibit some puppy behaviors like nipping at hands, which can be addressed with appropriate training and guidance.
For Pipper's safety and security, she'll need a home with six-foot secure fencing. An active household that can provide her with both physical exercise and mental stimulation would be ideal for this energetic pup. Pipper is eager to learn and would thrive with some training to engage her curious mind. If you're looking for a playful and affectionate companion to join your family, consider welcoming Pipper into your home!
