About Piper

Piper is looking for her forever home! This affectionate 9-year-old Chihuahua is a petite 10 pounds, with a stunning short black and cream coat that requires little grooming. Having recently escaped a hoarding situation, she has settled into her foster home in Tarzana, California, and is ready to find her new family. Piper is a playful little girl, always carrying toys with her as she explores her surroundings. She is house trained with pee pads and a doggie door, although she’ll need some guidance to fully transition to outdoor potty training. She responds well to her name and enjoys being called, so a name change wouldn’t suit her at all. This curious and gentle soul gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and children. Piper is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, making her an easy addition to any home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves to play with toys and shower you with affection, Piper is the one for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
