This lovely, middle-aged Dobergirl has come back to us, along with her house mate Fauci, from a loving home where they’ve been for the past year and a half since leaving DRT. Sadly, their human dad died, and their human mom is not able to keep them by herself. It was a lovely and pleasant home and they were very happy there; but as we all know, time passes and things change. We’re just glad that we can once again have them with us as we look for a new match for each of them. And even though they were together in their previous home, they are not bonded as some pairs are, and they are available individually.
She‘s a sweet dog and very sociable, she loves to run and play, and although she‘s strong and sturdy, she‘s easy to handle. In the house, she’s happy sleeping on her bed like a princess ( and honestly would like to have all the attention for herself) or being made of by her humans. She also has a favorite puzzle toy in which she has to figure out how to get the treat, at which she‘s impressively successful.
Outside, she is high energy at play, especially with the Jolly Ball - she flings it around with such force that sometimes she knocks herself off her feet! And she dearly loves to run in the fields and chase discs or balls.
She radiates confidence and happiness. She‘s alert, attentive, intelligent, and eager to engage. She obeys several commands, including to sit, stay, heel, down (if she jumps up), and come. Also, if you can place a treat on her nose, she will hold position until given the command to eat, at which point she‘ll snag it out of the air!
Volunteer comments:
"Pippa loves the Jolly Ball! She runs to get it and then stands and playfully barks at you to pick it up and throw it for her! She also likes to play tug of war. She‘s definitely one of the favorites I‘ve worked with."
"Pippa is a beautiful girl with a playful energy that is contagious! She loves to run and chase her toys, and she even knows a couple really cool tricks! She also loves undivided attention and lots of behind-the-ear rubs, yet she’s also independent and is content being left alone while playing with her toys (which she typically doesn’t like to share). :) What a great gal!"
"Pippa just has everything most people want in a Dobe. She is slightly taller than your average female, with a beautiful coat, has a great disposition, and is a super sweet and friendly girl. She seemed very comfortable and relaxed when I met her. She also likes to run and play, but everything is at her speed. The good news is "her speed" is dialed back a bit, so nothing she does is at a frenetic pace. She stays in control, which makes her easy to manage. When you hang out with Pippa, you find yourself smiling at her and saying ‘Good Girl!‘ a lot."
If this beautiful, engaging Dobergirl has caught your attention, make an appointment to meet her once your application is approved, and come spend a little time observing and interacting with her. Chances are, she‘ll steal your heart and not give it back if you do!
