Oh, hello there, wonderful humans! Meet Piper, the pint-sized 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with mesmerizing brown eyes that could melt anyone’s heart! This charming lady weighs in at a mere 40 pounds of pure sweetness. Piper was rescued from the Stanislaus shelter where she was at risk, but it was clear from her videos and notes that she was destined for a loving home. Piper is a calm and friendly girl, and once you earn her trust, she’ll shower you with the most delightful pets and snuggles! ❤️ She might be a little shy at first, taking her time to sniff out new friends, but don’t let that fool you. Once she’s comfortable, she revels in the affection and warmth of those around her. Piper has shown herself to be quite the gentlewoman—greeting other dogs politely and showing tremendous patience, even with the rowdiest of playmates in the shelter yard. Now, let’s talk about her playful spirit! Pip loves to zoom around the backyard, and she seems to prefer hanging out with small doggos since it feels safer to her, but as her confidence builds, she could certainly become the playground queen among bigger pups too! 🎉 She would thrive best in a single-family home with a fenced yard where she can let loose and enjoy her freedom. Crate trained and potty trained? Check and check! Piper views her crate as a cozy haven and will even give a little bark when someone comes knocking at the door, but don’t worry—she’s not a chatterbox! On a leash, she’s typically a sweetheart but can get a tad nervous at times, often looking to her person for reassurance. This little one has already learned commands like sit, down, heel, and here—though ‘here’ is an adventure of its own when she’s outside having fun! Piper is simply a shy sweetheart looking for a patient family who can help her blossom. If your heart is ready to welcome this lovely girl, don’t hesitate! *Apply through the Buddy App* and let Piper steal your heart! 🌟
