Piper is a 12-year-old, 15-pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix in need of a new home due to changes in her owner's living situation. She is a very good dog with adults and older children, forming a strong bond with her person and loving to be close. Piper enjoys sitting with you, hanging out, and being part of what’s going on. She’s smart and trainable, knowing a few tricks and loving treats, and she loves playing with her toys—especially stuffed ones. Piper gets along well with other dogs and is easygoing in a calm environment. Piper can be a little nervous when there are fireworks or a storm is coming, but she will let you know when they are coming. She is crate trained and house trained, and she’ll alert you when she needs to go out. Well-mannered on walks, Piper would do well in an adult-only home or in a household with older, respectful children. She’s gentle, easy to care for, and loves relaxing near her person. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-stress companion who thrives on closeness and routine, Piper could be the perfect match. If you think your home would be a good fit for Piper, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name, PIPER TX!
