kippy

When we asked Kippy’s foster mom what made her fall in love with her, she summed up this darling lady’s personality to a T!

“Kippy has a calm, gentle presence that draws you in. She doesn’t demand attention — she offers herself, and that kind of love is hard to forget. I fell in love with Kippy because of how hard she tried, even when she was exhausted. She took care of her puppies with devotion, and now she’s learning how to let someone take care of her. That quiet trust is what makes her so special.” – Foster Mom.

Miss Kippy is a 2-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/Staffordshire Terrier mix weighing 50 pounds. She has the most stunning brindle coat and those perky ears, gah! Under all that beauty is a gentle, observant, and quietly affectionate lady.

Kippy gets along with every dog she has been introduced to. So far, she has been around both male and female senior dogs and a female puppy without any issues. Kippy has met confident barn cats and showed curiosity without aggression or chasing. Because the cats did not run, we cannot say for sure how she would respond to a fearful or fast-moving cat. Continued supervision and slow introductions would be necessary in a home with cats. Kip is calm, patient, and comfortable around kids.

Miss Kippy enjoys food-based enrichment such as Kongs filled with peanut butter and bully sticks. She is always up for a walk and time outside, but does not require high levels of exercise. This smart gal is house-trained and can be trusted to sleep on her dog bed at night. Kip knows “sit,” and can easily learn many more commands.

Kippy is learning that the world can be safe. She is still gaining confidence in new environments, leash walking, and basic training, but continues to show improvement as trust builds. She would be best suited for a home that values calm energy and patience over fast expectations. She will thrive with adopters who understand confidence-building, use positive reinforcement, and are committed to helping her continue her training journey. A consistent routine, gentle guidance, and positive reinforcement will help her continue to build confidence.

Kippy will come to you spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $175. If you feel you and Kip would make a good match, head over to PawsitiveTailsKC.org and fill out an adoption application. Approved applicants will be contacted to set up a meet-and-greet.
