Piper (in Foster)
Dogs & Cats – Best as an only pet, so she gets ALL the attention. (She deserves it.)
Kids – Teens 16 and up are perfect!
Piper is the type of dog who quietly steals your heart. She's housebroken, crate-trained, and knows her basic commands. She'll even tuck herself into her crate when she's ready for a nap. Her favorite hobbies include napping with her head in your lap, gently chewing on her Nylabones, and politely delivering you a toy when she's in the mood to play.
She spent two months living in a staff member's office and was the perfect coworker. No begging, no counter surfing, no drama. In her foster home, she showed those same amazing manners. Sweet, gentle, and the perfect mix of playful and lazy, Piper made a lasting impression on everyone who met her. Her foster called her "the absolute sweetest dog" and meant every word.
Piper can take a little time to warm up to new people, and that's okay. The best things usually do. Once she decides you're her person, she is all in.
Piper is looking for a home where she can be your one and only. Give her a few days to settle in and you'll wonder how you ever lived without her. Come meet Piper. She is everything you didn't know you needed.
Bonus for Piper's adopter: Adopt Piper and she goes home with 5 in-home lesson credits with Paws & Play OR 5 in-facility stay and train credits with a 7-day stay. Because she deserves a great start, and so do you.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
