Piper

My story

  Meet Piper - a very special pocket-sized pup looking for an equally special forever home to call her own! Piper was previously in foster care after being found as a stray, and then most recently spent some time in an adoptive home living with another dog. After experiencing some challenges with coexisting with them over the last few months, Piper is now on the search for a patient pet-free home that is able to continue working on training with her. Piper's previous adopters described her as lover of her walks, and also said that "she's so happy all the time!," among many other rave reviews. This girl is full of playful energy, and always up for an adventure where she is able to explore her new environment at her own pace. And then after she's gotten her zoomies out, she is happy to nap right on top of you—or whichever angle allows for the most closeness! At her core, Piper is a very snuggly gal who just wants to be around her people. Her ideal home will also have someone who has a flexible schedule to be able to be home often, especially initially—and who is also able to commit to continuing her socialization. Piper is very smart, treat, and food-motivated, already knows "sit," "down," and "come," and is eager to please and learn even more! Piper is also already crate trained and mostly housebroken. Her favorite things? Peanut butter-filled Kongs and snuggling up with her beloved stuffies—and people! This sweet girl is a delightful mix of sweet and spunky, and she’s learning and growing into the amazing dog she’s meant to be.
