Fall River’s Pippa is pure sunshine despite coming from a heartbreaking situation and is looking for a furever home

Meet Fall River Forever Paws Pet of the Week Pippa!

Pippa is a two-year-old bulldog, and her size and height make Forever Paws think Old English Bulldogge rather than your typical short, stout lowriders. Not only does Pippa have wrinkles for days but she’s also got legs for days and she’s much taller than what you would expect from a typical bulldog. She weighs about 73lbs, and she is all muscle…and beauty and grace, obviously.

Pippa’s personality is pure sunshine. She is bright and warm, and you just can’t help but smile when you see her. She came from a not-so-great situation and it’s absolutely heartbreaking because she is such a loving dog, full of life and joy and pure enthusiasm. She’s a social butterfly that prefers people above all else – even snacks! She loves meeting new friends and watching her little nub wiggle when she sees another dog will make your day, if not your entire week.

She’s a smart girl that knows her cues and likes to show them off almost as much as she likes playing with tennis balls. Walks are her passion, especially when you let her investigate everything. Given her size, she’s not all that terrible on a leash but she is sturdy enough (and occasionally stubborn enough) to throw her weight around to go where she wants to go. Forever Paws hasn’t seen any resource guarding or food aggression or anything even remotely similar from her. Sharing is caring!

For Pippa, thy are looking for a home that can keep up with her love of walks and also has breed experience (brachycephalic breeds that understand allergies, the risks of overheating, etc). Other dogs in the home would be fine. No cats. Kids 12+.
