Dog of the Month: Pip

tbm's impact, from Shauna (tbm's President)

Being involved with tbm gave me the opportunity to give back and foster a dog that the Sgt. Pepper's Friends transported from Aruba (where Kara had spent time helping rescue dogs with them there!). Kara asked if we (me, my husband, and my own pup Kodak) would foster a dog from the most recent round of transports and I agreed. I patiently waited to learn which dog out of the bunch we would get. When she told me Pip would stay with us, we immediately went to the photos to see which one she was. She was a decently sized black pitty, listed at 45lbs! She was the biggest of the bunch, so we were a bit weary, but excited! The day she got off the van, we were in for a surprise!! She was not only the biggest, but she was 30lbs over what was listed, coming in at over 75lbs! She was so very excited too and I thought to myself "What have I gotten myself into!?" We brought her home, bathed her, and she fell asleep immediately and slept for probably 20 hours straight! In the coming weeks, her personality came through and she turned out to be a chill, relaxed, sweet, goofy girl. Our kind of dog. We took her to an adoption event and I cried the whole time thinking about giving her to someone else. So we came home and decided that she wasn't leaving. Kodak got a sister!

Without tbm, Kara, and Kara's Mothy, we wouldn't have our Pippy. We are forever grateful!
