My Story

Hi friends! I’m Mr. Pickles… although these days my foster mom and dad call me Pippin.

When I first arrived, I was still figuring things out and learning that life could be safe and full of good things. But now that I’m settled into my foster home, my foster family says I’ve really come into my own. I respond right away to Pippin now, and they swear I walk a little taller and carry myself with a little more pride these days.

If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m sweet, smart, loving, curious, friendly, funny (but not goofy 😉), and eager to learn.

I’m a guy who likes balance in life. My mornings usually start with adventure mode — walks, zoomies, training sessions, exploring, and meeting new friends. Then I transition into professional napper status until it’s time for afternoon activities and evening fun.

Lately, I’ve been getting lots of practice being out and about in the world, and my foster dad says I’m doing beautifully. I’ve been visiting the neighborhood, going to the market, and meeting all kinds of new people, dogs, and even cats everywhere I go. I love making new friends and people are constantly stopping to tell my foster family what a stunning boy I am (not to brag… but I do have pretty fabulous floof 💁‍♂️).

I also had a recent boarding stay and came right back home without missing a beat. My foster family says that’s a huge sign of how much progress I’ve made and how confident and secure I’ve become.

I LOVE people and I absolutely love making friends. Neighborhood walks? One of my favorite things. Meeting other dogs? Excellent. Saying hello to new people? Sign me up. I’ve been practicing polite greetings and my foster family says my social skills get better every day.

I also really enjoy friendly dog friends and playdates. I’m curious about cats too — respectful and interested without being overwhelming. The cats don’t always appreciate a giant fluffy boy wanting to say hello, but I think they’re pretty fascinating.

Training has become one of my favorite things because I’m discovering that learning is fun (especially if treats are involved). I already know sit, down, come, and place, and I’m fully kennel trained now too. I walk nicely on leash, and while I can get excited sometimes, I’m becoming such a good walking buddy.

I’m affectionate and LOVE attention — belly rubs are definitely one of my specialties. I’m happiest when people let me say hello first, sniff a hand, and then lean in for pets. Once I know you, get ready… because I’m all in.

Some of my other favorite things include:
🐾 Sprinting through sprinklers
🐾 Hunting chipmunks and squirrels
🐾 Snuffle mats and enrichment games
🐾 Being told I’m a very good boy (because… I am)

My foster family says my sweet face and loving eyes make them smile every day because I genuinely love life. I’m excited for walks, excited for friends, excited for snacks… and most of all, excited to find my forever family.

Could that be you?

Love,
Mr. Pickles (aka Pippin) 💙

My Story

Hi there, I’m Perrin!

I may be a big guy, but I’m really just a gentle soul who wants a calm home and a comfy place to lay my head. I’m living in a great foster home right now, but what I really want is a forever family that cuddles with me.

I’d be perfectly happy as your one-and-only, but I also wouldn’t mind a calm canine companion — especially a sweet doggy girl I could bond with. If your pup is looking for a funny, loyal friend, I might just be her pyrfect match.

Let’s get one thing straight: I LOVE the outdoors. My happy place is the backyard where I can patrol, lounge around, and enjoy the breeze. But don’t worry — I’m great indoors too. I’m perfectly happy napping on the floor, curled up in a chair, beside my hooman(s), or wherever I can find the softest spot in the house.

I’m pretty easygoing — I don’t chew on things, I don’t drool, and I’m house-trained with a good routine. I know all my basic commands (sit, stay, come, leave it, down) and I’m great on a leash. I’ll even tell you when I need to go out with a polite bark. I’m calm in the car too — not my favorite thing, but I’ll settle in and nap like a pro.

Treats? Oh man, give me a treat and I’ll zoomie with joy. I might even shake my head and spin in circles from pure excitement. It’s not even just the treat — it’s the thrill of the whole experience. My favorite? Stella & Chewy’s fish jerky, but honestly, I’m just thrilled you’re offering me something special.

I’m not really into toys — I prefer nature, naps, and neck scritches. I do bark a little at strange noises or visitors, but once I know you’re a friend, I’m all about the love. I adore people, both men and women, and love being petted all over. I’m super easy when it comes to taking pills or getting brushed.

If you’re looking for a loyal dog who loves the outdoors, enjoys snuggles, and will make you laugh every single day, I think we’d be great together.

Let’s meet soon — and don’t forget the treats. 😉
– Love, Perrin
