Pippin

​You can’t keep a good dog down! Life has thrown 2-year old Pippin some serious curveballs but his spirit has prevailed. Pippin was living on the street when he showed up in the yard of a dog-lover, who brought him to the shelter. It was a move that saved his life, as Pippin was just beginning to suffer from Parvo. Even heading into illness, his good-natured and playful self shone through and a whole team of folks have restored Pippin to perfect health. Pippin is now ready for an easier time of things! He gets along great with other dogs, comes when called, walks well on a leash, gently hops into your lap and has an “up for anything & everything” vibe. He is a purebred mutt. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all shots. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road. AAS animals are online at https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 For more info email heatherthemule@gmail.com
