Additional Details:

Pippa initially came in from the Sanford Orlando track as a very young girl at just a year and a half old. She didn't ever race though. She just wasn't interested in chasing the lure and you can't make a greyhound run is it doesn't want to. Pippa was initially called Trista but her adoptive family has called her Pippa since they adopted her. She has been in that home for 8 years and is being returned to us because the toddler in her adoptive home became allergic to her. Pippa will turn 10 on December 13th, so qualifies for our reduced senior adoption donation of $250. She is missing a leg due to a bad break she had after adoption in 2019. It couldn't be fixed, so the leg had to be amputated. It healed up long ago and Pippa gets along great on 3 legs. She can still run and play and it hardly slows her down. She loves to play with toys and will throw them around and pounce on them in short spurts between naps. Her sire is Bonafide Top Dog and her mom is Retail Therapy. We also placed her mom. Pippa was an emotional support dog for her previous owner after he got out of the service, so it was really hard on both of them to be separated. Pippa is very cat friendly and isn't any more interested in chasing a cat than she was in chasing a lure. She was living with a cat in her home and sleeps with it (check out her pictures). She is also good with small dogs. Pippa is much more interested in getting up in your lap for snuggles than chasing anything. She is a happy, sweet girl that so far has loved everyone she has met and hasn't shied away from anyone including kids. Pippa is already home acclimated and should be a calm, easy going addition to just about any home. She is absolutely adorable.
