 | | Pippin |
Each week we'll be shining the spotlight on one of our adoptable dogs. This week it's Pippin's turn!
Hi, I'm Pippin! People also call me Pip, Pippi-poo and Baby-girl.
When I'm with my human family I LOVE to snuggle. I get so excited when my mom comes home, but I have good manners and do not jump. I love to relax and lay under the covers right up against my mom. I follow my mom around when she does yard work and I will relax on my dog bed upon command. Sometimes I get a case of the crazies and I run in circles, flailing around, with my butt to the ground. When my family laughs at me, I get more excited and run around even more.
My favorite game with my canine friends is chase. I love to play with other dogs, but I would prefer to be an only dog. Although I love to play, I don't like it when I'm snuggling with mom and my foster brother approaches for attention. Also, I resource guard my food against other dogs.
My foster family knows me pretty well and they think the perfect family for me would be one that loves to baby their dogs. I am very sensitive and love human attention. I would be the perfect dog for an only dog household - I walk well on leash, I'm potty-trained, I love to snuggle, I listen, and I will even go into a crate, although I don't like it. I'm too old for that!
I almost forgot to tell you that I am a diva! I have high-standards and dignity. I am so cute and sweet that you'll fall in love with me instantly.

 Congratulations to the families who have added a new, loving, forever friend to their home! Here's one of our dogs who was recently adopted:
 | | Carter |
 We need foster homes for the following animals. PBRSD covers all food, bedding, bowls, leash, collar, tag, medical costs (treatments/prescriptions), training and grooming supplies. If you can foster please fill out our foster form (click here) or for more information about our foster program, please contact fostering@pbrsd.org.
 | | Ruby & Ruthie |
Ruby & Ruthie
*** PBRSD is looking for a foster who has rabbit-care experience. The current foster will donate their cage and supplies and PBRSD is willing to continue with this coverage as needed*** Ruby and Ruthie are 2 year old female rabbits. They are bonded so they will need to be moved to a foster home together. Ruthie loves to be petted while Ruby prefers to hop away. We're looking for a foster home that would allow them to be indoor bunnies. Read more about Ruby and Ruthie here.
 | | Malbec |
 | | Port |
Malbec & Port Malbec* and Port are brothers, both looking for foster homes (*Malbec's photo is old). They are 4 months old, crate trained and working on their potty training. They know sit, but need foster parents who can help them with the rest of their basic commands. They are enrolled in a puppy obedience training on Saturday mornings and will need a foster who can commit to taking them to class over the next few weeks. Please e-mail fostering@pbrsd.org if you can foster either of them, or both of them (they can be separated into 2 foster homes). Monday, March 12th: Riesling and Zin
These adorable puppies are about 4 months old. We need a puppy-sitter for them on Monday, March 12th from 8am - 8pm. The puppies live in the 92126 area.
