Pippa formerly known as Kortney is a returning RAGOM girl. She is a healthy GR mix, 4.5 years old and 45 pounds. She has sleek strawberry blonde fur with an upright left ear and a right ear which lays flat. Pippa was surrendered because she woke up the 10 month old baby with her barking and the SO (surrendering owner) felt she needed more exercise and time than they were able to provide for her. She also chased rabbits and smaller dogs.
HISTORY:
Kortney/Pippa was brought into RAGOM at only 8 months old as a cruelty case along with other dogs kept outdoors. She had an old injury which didn’t heal properly on her right front leg causing her to limp. The injured radial bone stopped growing while the ulna bone grew causing a bend in her leg. At this young age, a successful surgery was performed to help slow arthritis in this leg. A lot of time and effort by so many people helped her in these early years – doctors, nurses, her first foster and adoptive families as well as the numerous generous people who helped provide funding for all of her needs. She is truly a RAGOM rescue success!
TODAY:
Pippa is living in the country with her foster family of two adults. She came to us as a shy girl who is adjusting well to our quiet lifestyle. She loves going for walks and car rides, riding in the boat and spending time in the beautiful outdoors. Surprisingly she hasn’t seen any rabbits yet.
Pippa has virtually no problems with her leg and has lots of pep and really wants to pull on her walks. Though petite, she is all muscle. She can go for long walks easily. In the house, she bounds up and down the stairs with ease and dances back and forth between the rooms. We have noticed an occasional stance of bending her paw backwards possibly due to habit or maybe just to rest.
Pippa enjoys lots of pets, belly rubs and back scratches. She generally follows us from room to room and naps nearby. She takes an occasional nap on FM in her chair. At night she sleeps on her bed in our bedroom.
We are enjoying this beautiful girl. Stay tuned for further details as we learn more about Pippa.
