Meet Kippa

Meet Kippa! A spirited almost five-year-old Siberian Husky/Shepherd mix from Wilton, CT, whose heart is as big as her love for snuggles. Wrapped in a gorgeous grey-and-white coat, this medium-sized adventurer is an affectionate, intelligent, and playful companion who thrives when surrounded by her favorite people. Kippa is happiest when she’s part of the action—whether it’s exploring the great outdoors, going for long walks, or even taking a refreshing swim in the pool with the kids. She’s always up for a cuddle session, making her the perfect constant companion for anyone looking for a loving, people-oriented pup! She knows a few important commands like “sit,” “leave it,” and “okay,” but she would benefit from continued training to build her confidence and skills. Kippa adores people and is friendly with strangers, but she can be selective with other dogs. In her current home, she has had altercations with another resident dog and once with a neighbor’s dog while in her space, which may stem from resource guarding or feeling the need to assert control in her environment. However, she does well in neutral settings like doggie daycare, where she has no issues with socialization or aggression. To ensure her happiness and comfort, Kippa would thrive as the only pet in her new home, where she can enjoy one-on-one attention from her family. Kippa does well when left alone in the house and settles in comfortably with her family at night, whether snoozing close by or finding her own cozy spot. While she’s a confident and loving dog, she does experience some stress in certain situations. She gets anxious at vet visits (where the staff describes her as sweet and cooperative) and when left alone in the car for short periods. A bit of extra care and patience in these moments will help her feel secure. Her ideal home would be with an experienced pet parent who understands the needs of Huskies and Shepherds—someone active and ready to provide both mental and physical enrichment. A securely fenced yard is a must to give her a safe space to enjoy her outdoor time. To make sure that Kippa has a great start with her new family, we have a canine behaviorist available for a free consultation. Kippa is ready to shower her new family with love, loyalty, and endless snuggles! Could she be the perfect match for you?
