Pyper

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Pyper, the 3-year-old Pit Bull Terrier who has perfected two arts: wiggling her butt like it’s her full-time job, and taking naps in any available patch of sunlight. She’s basically a solar-powered cuddle machine who doubles as your personal shadow. Forget privacy—Pyper’s got eyes (and snuggles) for you at all times. She’s got the basics down—sit, shake, lay down, heel—and she’s even working on the advanced life skill of not sprinting through the door like she’s qualifying for the Olympics. When overwhelmed, Pyper channels her inner toddler and grabs the nearest object to put in her mouth. Don’t worry, it’s usually a toy… but let’s just say soft plushies don’t last long around her. Pyper is crate-trained (translation: she’s an Olympic-level sleeper and snack enthusiast) and even chooses her crate as her hangout spot during the day. But she’ll require a chicken-free menu—apparently her skin signed a petition against poultry. Pyper is the perfect balance of “let’s go for a run” and “let’s binge nap together,” making her both your gym buddy and Netflix companion. She’s a people person to her core, but she would do best being the only four-legged royalty in the house.  She is currently residing with another pup and, while there are moments of tension that she doesn’t always handle well, she is learning and benefits from calm structure and guidance. A fenced yard is her dream stage for zoomies, and she’ll shower every human she meets with unconditional love. Basically, Pyper is ready to be your sunbathing, squeaky-toy-destroying, endlessly loyal best friend—for life. Pyper is from a local impound.

An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
