Pipo (pronounced Peepo) is a 5-year-old male, roughly 40 pounds. He appears to be a cross of some kind, perhaps husky and border collie. He is energetic, shy, bouncy, highly alert: just the gentlest, sweetest disposition and again, very affectionate.
Pipo loves nothing more than to snuggle on the couch, or in bed. He is neutered, microchipped and 95 per cent house-trained -- but can occasionally lapse if left alone in the house too long. He is very good with people and dogs. His main issue is with cyclists: if they come near him he will lunge suddenly towards them, not aggressively but just out of excitement. His recall is not great and he likes to jump, so any off-leash any off-leash activity, at least in the short term, MUST be in a fully-enclosed space, with a high fence.
He currently lives with 2 dogs and would do well with another neutral or meek dog in the home.
Pipo is quite sensitive and needs a very gentle home. His ideal home would be one where he is the centre of attention, where he can cuddle on the couch and bed. A home with someone who is experienced with rescued dogs and reactivity, and only uses positive reinforcement.
His foster home is in midtown Toronto.
