About Piper

Meet Piper, a charming medium-sized pup weighing 33 pounds. As a pit bull and Australian shepherd mix, she has a sweet yet shy demeanor. Piper thrives in the company of other dogs, particularly her sister Lilly, and she adores children. This playful girl enjoys belly rubs, butt scratches, and chasing tennis balls. Though she’s still mastering her leash skills, with a gentle guide, Piper finds her courage and begins to explore. She is crate trained and responsive to corrections, but her potty training is still in progress—her siblings adapted quickly, so she likely will too. Piper tends to jump for joy, not out of aggression, and would appreciate help learning better manners. She’s spayed and fully vaccinated, making her ready for a loving new home. Piper is currently in Trinity, NC but can be transported for adoption. Everything she needs is a safe, loving environment where she can truly shine. Ready to make a connection?
