UPDATE
Miss Pippa Is Looking for Her Forever Family!
100% French Bulldog
Sleeps through the night.
Has a healthy appetite.
Takes her pills like a champ.
LOVES to play — and goes 100% most of the time.
Is currently working on the concept of occasionally chilling. We are still negotiating. 
Will enthusiastically guard your yard or deck from invading birds, frogs, squirrels and any other suspicious activity.
Loves her Nylabones and squeaky toys.
Gets along great with most dogs. A slow introduction on neutral territory would probably be best.
Can be vocal at times — because naturally, she has opinions.
Is getting better and better with her potty training and continues to make progress every day.
It’s time for us to find her a home
Miss Pippa Is Looking for Her Forever Family! Pippa has come a LONG way, and she’s ready to find the family she can call her own. 
Pippa can be a little skittish when meeting new people, so it’s important that her future family understands she needs a little time to settle in and feel safe. Once she does, though, you’ll see what a wonderful little companion she is. She likes to be wherever you are, but she’s not a Velcro dog who has to be in your lap every minute.
Here’s what we know about this sweet little girl:

Give her the chance to feel safe, let her settle in at her own pace, and you’ll get to watch this sweet little girl blossom.
Whatever you think your next Frenchie companion might look like, be prepared to be completely enamored with Pippa. She’ll quickly become a treasured member of your family, keep you laughing, and make sure you never have to wonder who is running the household.
Pupdate:
Pippa went to see Dr. Spencer on Monday and had a great checkup! She has gained a little over a pound and now weighs a whole 10.6 lbs! 
Even better, both her fecal and heartworm tests came back negative. Whew! That was such great news.
Pippa does have a small abdominal hernia, so we’ll discuss the best treatment plan with Rene when she returns. The really exciting part is that her staples are out, which means she gets to start resuming normal activities!
There was also lots of discussion about her breed. Facebook seems divided between Puggle and Frenchie, while the consensus at the vet’s office was Frenchie/Chihuahua. Whatever she is, she’s absolutely adorable, and that’s all that really matters. 
Today, Pippa spent some time meeting my dogs, Pill Bug and Star, and she did really well. She’d venture out to explore, then occasionally come back and stand safely between my legs before heading back out again. It’s so rewarding to watch her confidence grow a little more each day.
It continues to amaze me how well she’s recovered from such a major surgery. She’s come so far in such a short time. Now our biggest job is simply helping this sweet little girl put on some more weight!!
_________________________________
We had a barrage of people tagging us to help this little girl. Little baby at the shelter, 4 months old, emaciated and doesn’t seem to be able to keep food down without vomiting. Parvo negative on testing so we didn’t know what we are looking at with this little girl at just 10 pounds.
Ricky picked her up and has drove her to the ER to get some assessment as quick as we can. We learned after some diagnostics that she has diaphragmatic hernia with her abdominal organs in her chest. So her organs are trapped in there and she will need emergency surgery to try and repair that and save her life. We ended up making the decision to transfer her to the Frisco ER where DVSC has surgeons located there. This is a difficult surgery and we needed someone who was able to do this kind of surgery. Ricky has gone to pick her up from the McKinney ER and is taking her over to the Frisco ER, they will stabilize her for the surgeon to go to work first thing in the morning.
This is a very expensive surgery and aftercare and I will be putting together a Zeffy fundraiser to raise the amount that has been quoted to us. I will close the night with that in about an hour.
