About Pippi - Expression of Interest Only
Pippi is our adorable little 6-year-old Chihuahua, that came to us after being rescued from the awful conditions of a puppy farm. Because of what her past has put her through she’s a timid little thing, but with kindness and love she’s slowly coming out of her shell. She likes to be near humans but she doesn’t love them being inside her personal bubble and demonstrates this by cowering. But with gentle hands she will happily cuddle in your arms. However, watching TV in bed is a whole other story! If that’s something you like doing, then this little girl could be your new best friend as snuggling into the doona is high on her list of things she loves to do. Once the lights go out though, don’t expect a bed buddy. She will put herself in her crate and give you the entire bed to yourself! How good is that?!
She would best suited to a home with other dogs which she can play and share the couch with. She finds the outside world terrifying and although she doesnt mind having older children around, young kids are definitely far too frightening for her as noises bother her a great deal. Pippi is intimidated by large and loud people.
Her carer says this little girl is a joy to have around, but we’re looking for her forever home. One where she will be showered with kindness, sensitivity and love. If that sounds like something you can give her, then what are you waiting for? Pippi could just be the girl for you!
