Following two years of planning and a summer of outdoor exhibit, the Nipper 2005 Community Partners have moved the fine art sculptures inside for twenty-one days of viewing prior to the October 9th Nipper 2005 Gala Auction. Please see website below for Auction information including the Reservation Deadline of September 30th and the Absentee Bidder Deadline October 7th.

There is still time to hug your favorite Nipper! Put on your walking shoes, grab the camera, round up the strollers and/or those confined to wheelchairs! Parking is free. Maps for this new Nipper 2005 locale are available at the Information desk just off the Food Court. The numbers on the Moorestown Mall Nipper 2005 Map correspond with the original numbering system found on the “Nipper Finder!” page of our website, where online photos of each sculpture continue to be accessible by clicking on the numbers of the original map.

Starting with the area around the Information Desk, visit with (13)Peaceful Nipper, (24)The Gentleman, (10)Garden Path Dog and (1)Roots of Nipper. Then, head towards the Boscov’s for photo opportunities with(22)Harvest Moon Doggie, (23)Patriotic Max, (16)El Perro Pintado and (21)Sunny Mae. Next, still locked away in his original display case, (4)Patches of Music (sponsored by Moorestown Mall) keeps an eye out for his competition as this is the only pup with toys.... seems like preferential treatment!

Directly in front of Boscov’s, notice the patriotic pairing of (26)WWII Flying Ace and (18)Yankee Doodle Doggie. (12)Notorious Nip has yet to be placed due to a wardrobe malfunction.

Heading back to the Sears Court, keep an eye out for (9)Philadelphia Nipper, (11)Nipper Dog, (3)Jersey Native Nipper, (7)Changes, (20)My Dog’s Name, (14)Unconditional Love, (25)His Master’s Reflection, (28)Poppy, (17)Music & Voices Heard by Nipper and(19)Monet’s Mutt.

Finally, with a visit to the Strawbridges Court, expect encounters with (30)Masquerade Deco Dog, (2)Uncle Sam, (6)Souper Dog, (8)Backyard Nipper, (15)Hands On Nipper, (27)Tupper – Tut’s Pup, (5)Families are Forever(currently at the puppy hospital getting re-dressed) and bringing up the rear....(29)Leader of the Pack.
