About Lucky and Piper

Meet Lucky and Piper! This devoted pair of dogs resides in Amherst, MA, and their friendship is a beautiful reminder that some bonds last a lifetime. Often found resting side by side, these loving boys offer twice the companionship and plenty of heart to their future family. Lucky, an eight-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix, is the devoted shadow of the duo, weighing 55 pounds. Once he trusts you, he showers you with affection, happily following you from room to room. Lucky knows commands like sit, come, and shake, and he thrives with positive reinforcement. Due to his strong prey drive, he needs a securely fenced yard and a home without cats, birds, or small animals. He would do best with a patient and experienced guardian, especially someone identifying as female, with whom he has naturally bonded. Piper is the gentle soul of the pairing, a thirteen-year-old Hound mix weighing 68 pounds. He’s friendly with people, kids, and dogs alike, and enjoys soft beds and predictable routines. Piper has some special care needs as he manages dermatitis, which calls for attention to his skin health. Both boys take medication for anxiety during storms and fireworks, but they adapt well and enjoy their twice-daily walks. They're great water dogs too, perfect for fun adventures! Both are microchipped, current on parasite prevention, and maintain great health. Lucky and Piper need a loving home with a securely fenced yard and a family who cherishes their bond by keeping them together. Are these two devoted companions the perfect pair to join your life?
