Pippin Is Hillsborough's Pet Of The Week

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Meet Pippin! He has been chosen as Hillsborough Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is Pippin. He celebrated his first birthday in October! Pippin was rescued in Texas and brought to New Jersey with his sister at approximately 9 weeks old. We were supposed to foster him, but fell in love and adopted him instead!

He is very smart and has learned to respond to cue cards as well as agility commands, and he is excellent at the sport of luring. Pippin loves to snuggle, play hide and seek, burying chew toys in the backyard, and play with his bestie, Roxy."
