About Pippa
Meet Pippa, a 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier in an adorable, compact, canine package. She weighs about 5 kgs.
Clever and alert to her surroundings, Pippa can be a tad shy at first, but she quickly warms up and will blossom into an affectionate and loyal companion.
Pippa is especially fond of older children with good dog-manners and will happily bask in their love and attention, enjoying every tummy scratch on offer.
She is also dog-friendly but untested with cats.
She loves humans and is keenly interested in whatever they're up to. She follows her foster mum around like a shadow.
Pippa is house-trained and well-mannered inside the home.
Outside, it's important to note that, like most Jacks, she is courageous and loves adventure. She's a bit of a Houdini when it comes to escaping, so a well-secured yard with good fencing, ideally snake-proof, is essential to keep her safe.
If you're seeking an active, fun-loving and devoted companion dog who thrives on affection and inclusion, Pippa could be the perfect addition to your family.
Pippa's ideal home will have at least one family member around most of the time, a compatible canine pal to play with and abundant opportunity for exercise and stimulation. Pippa will thrive in a home where she is regarded as an integral member of the family unit.
