Are you right for Pip?

If you are looking for a sweet-natured, gentle companion who enjoys the quieter things in life, Pip could be just the girl for you. At 4 years old, this beautiful Chow Chow is ready to find a calm and loving home where she can truly relax. Pip would love a garden of her very own as she enjoys regular visits outside to potter, sniff and explore. She is fine around traffic and hops happily onto the back seat of the car, though she may need a little boost if travelling in the boot. Pip can live with well-matched dogs as she enjoys canine company and she could also share her home with children aged 5 and above who are gentle and respectful. She has an ongoing medical condition which our team will be happy to discuss with potential adopters to make sure her future family feels fully supported. Pip does have some ongoing health needs, but with the right care she can continue to enjoy a happy, comfortable life - the team will be happy to discuss further with potential adopters.

Is Pip right for you?

Pip is a friendly floofball with a kind and curious spirit. She enjoys saying hello to new people, although she tends to remain a little aloof and prefers to just share space rather than fuss. With her known handlers, she tolerates gentle affection and is good for clipping her collar and harness. Grooming and vet checks can make her a little worried at first, but with patience and reassurance she does well. This foodie girl takes treats gently (though she will happily raid a pouch if given the chance!) and has shown herself to be housetrained. She occasionally has a playful moment with a soft squeaky toy, but what she enjoys most is exploring, sniffing, and meeting other dogs along the way. If you are looking for a calm, gentle companion who will bring quiet joy and a little fluff to your home, Pip could be your perfect match.
