About Piper

Piper came out of a difficult situation, but she's shown a gentle, calm resilience that makes her stand out. Rescued from a high-kill shelter, Piper is a small, cream-colored Pomeranian mix who blossoms with patience. She takes time to trust, and her comfort is tied directly to how people approach her—slow, gentle movements win her over. Once she feels safe, Piper’s loyalty surfaces, and she’ll stick close, offering her paw and happily following you from room to room. Sudden touches can still startle her, and she doesn’t like being picked up unexpectedly, but she can be carried if you hold her securely. Treats are her biggest motivator and the best way to connect with her. Piper is fully vetted, spayed, and house trained. She gets along with kids and other dogs. However, because she can get mouthy when overwhelmed, she’ll do best with adopters who respect her boundaries—adults or older kids with some dog experience. Thunderstorms make Piper anxious, so she’ll need a comforting spot during storms. What she needs most is a patient owner willing to give her steady, consistent reassurance and space at first. If you’re looking for an easygoing companion who will become incredibly devoted with time, Piper is waiting in Duluth, GA. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
