Pippa Beagle Cincinnati, OH

Pippa is a 3 year old, 30 pound, Beagle who was found as a stray and brought to a rural shelter in Kentucky. Her owners knew she was there but never bothered to get her, and we can't imagine why! Pippa is scared of other dogs at the first meeting and will run away until she realizes she's not going to be attacked. This gorgeous gal is super sweet with people and how can anyone resist that puppy smile!

Pippa also tested positive for Lyme. Lyme is a tick borne disease that is not contagious to other dogs or humans but will remain in her system, throughout her life. Pippa may have an occasional flare-up which would be indicated by joint pain/ inflammation, limping, lethargy and possible loss of appetite. Typically a dose of antibiotics is enough to make the disease go dormant again. To help control the Lyme,

Pippa will need a yearly Lyme vaccine. Should she have multiple flare ups in a short amount of time, her kidneys could be affected. Lyme has become more prevalent in the southern states, and many dogs with this disease have lived long happy lives!
