Pippi - Mutt Female Dog For Adoption in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA

Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat).

Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Would you like to meet me? Join us at our Annual Fundraiser hosted by Fat Pants Brewing (8335 Crystal View Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55344) on Sunday, September 27th from 12:00 pm - 02:00 pm. Please email inquiriesunderdogrescuemn for questions regarding the dogs. Meet Pippi, who is basically a tiny package of happy, playful, cuddly terrier energy! Pippi loves everything—toys, bones, treats, food, people, dogs, playing, cuddling… if it’s fun, Pippi is all in! She is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being part of the action and would happily spend her days playing with her people, romping with a canine friend, and then curling up for some well-deserved snuggles. This little girl has plenty of energy, so Pippi is looking for an active family who will give her lots of attention, playtime, and opportunities to burn off that energy. She would love to have another playful dog in the home, although a canine companion is not required as long as her family is home frequently and able to give her plenty of interaction and outlets for exercise. And when we say Pippi is quick, we mean QUICK! She loves to run, so a securely fenced yard would be a huge bonus. If her new family doesn't have a fenced yard, she'll need plenty of regular exercise, such as multiple walks each day, trips to the dog park, and other fun activities that keep her body and brain busy. Because of her young-dog energy, keeping her appropriately exercised and mentally stimulated will help her be a happy, well-behaved pup. Pippi isn't especially vocal on her own, but in true terrier fashion, she has no problem joining the neighborhood choir when the other dogs start barking. She is also still working on some of her puppy skills. She's learning that the crate isn't quite as exciting as everything else in life, and she's working on her leash-walking skills as well. As a young dog, Pippi is still learning how to read and respect other dogs' cues. She absolutely loves to play and sometimes needs a little help recognizing when another dog isn't interested in playing—or when they would prefer a different kind of play. Because of this, a home with a senior dog may not be the best fit for her, but she would thrive with a playful canine companion who enjoys having a young, energetic friend. Continued training will be important for Pippi as she grows into the very best dog she can be. Luckily, she is very food motivated, which makes training both productive and fun! More than anything, Pippi needs a family who wants to engage with her, play with her, teach her, and include her in the fun. She is a bright, happy little dog who simply loves being a dog. Give her plenty of activity, attention, affection, and opportunities to learn, and this sweet girl is sure to keep her family laughing and loving her every step of the way. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
