Pippen

Meet Pippen! He is about 1 year old and fully trained for all basic commands. This is one awesome dog. If I was able to keep him, I would. He's too big for my house, and keeping him would prevent me from helping other dogs find their furever homes. So, I won't and truly can't keep him. He's a true family dog, and would do just great with an active family who has the time for him. He is full of puppy energy, but he can also chill and sleep calmly for hours on a couch or in his crate. He is the perfect age of 'still puppy but all the hard puppy work has already been taken care of.'

He is fully house trained, and even when he needs to go potty, he holds it until he is let outside. Truth be told, he's shocked me at how he's been able to avoid having accidents in the house.

He is very loyal, obedient, and eager to please his people. He knows his commands and listens to them. Pippen reliably comes on recall, sleeps independently in his crate, and is a very quick learner. We have crate trained Pippen in the time we've had him. Pippen is a very smart boy. He walks well on a leash, and he potties quickly while walking outside. He is great with other dogs of all sizes and plays with them well. He plays with smaller dogs with care and while he's full speed ahead, he is also cautious when playing. He visibly slows himself down when around older dogs who are not quite full of the spunk and drive that he has as a puppy.

Pippen

does well with children

. He loves people and prefers to be close to his family. He does okay alone, however, it’s clear that he really likes to be around others. He rarely barks. If he is making noise, it's worth checking out because something's off. He is a sweet boy and he loves to play fetch with a stick. He also plays tug of war with other dogs or people. When out for a walk, he likes to try and greet other dogs but is redirected easily. This guy is so deserving of a family who will give him as much love as he has to give others. He is a happy ray of sunlight in our lives and I know he'd be that for another family, too. Check him out and adopt him today!
