More: I waited nearly 10 years for Pippin to come into my life, and boy was he worth the wait! I was determined to adopt a Cavalier and began fostering with a local rescue. Pippin was my third foster - a “foster fail” - and is now the brightest light in my life. He is an outdoorsy dog and loves going with us on a hike or paddle just as much as he loves curling up by the fire or on the couch. His favorite snack is baby cucumbers and he always protects us from the dogs (and horses and animated creatures) on the TV. Pippin is a true Velcro dog and his happiest place is with his people, wherever we are, whether that’s adventuring across our state parks or just having a quite night in. We believe Pippin represents both his breed and rescue dogs incredibly and we are so proud to call him ours.
