PIPPI's Story

INTRODUCING MS. PIPPI....a pretty little Miss who was dumped in the Chesterfield South LA shelter because her family didnt have time for her. This 12 lb, 1-2 yr old, b/w Shih Tzu mix was absolutely petrified and was very snappy in the shelter. Poor girl crouched in the back of the kennel shaking like a leaf!! When we saw her, we realized she was not aggressive, but reactive to the unknown...and there was a lot of that in the shelter.<br/><br/>Cut to: Almost a week out of the shelter, Pippi is starting to come out of her shell. She loves to play with toys and will even fetch and bring the toy back to you!! She is very quiet, unless she is all alone and getting no attention...then she might let you know shes there by nosing your hand to solicit a pet! Once you give her love and she sees you are a friend, she is loving and affectionate. She is young and smart but was not properly socialized, so it might take a minute for her to understand who you are and what to do.<br/><br/>The ideal home/family for Pippi would be one that can be patient with her and give her unconditional love and affection slowly, but surely. She responds pretty quickly and wants to trust. It would be best for her to have a yard, as she was never walked so she doesnt know thats where she is supposed to do her business! At this time, she is going on the PP pads and always hitting her mark! She is a lovely girl and will be an exceptional companion to the right home. An active lifestyle, probably no children or older kids, would be the best scenario. When you look into her eyes and see the love, youll be smitten Come and get her!
