About Piper

Meet Piper, the cutest snaggletooth you’ll ever see! This charming one-year-old chihuahua mix weighs around 10 lbs and is ready to steal your heart. Sadly, he lost his home due to a change in his owners' apartment pet policy. After a tough time at the SF shelter, he found his way to a loving foster home with Hair of the Dog - A Bay Area Rescue, where he’s starting to shine. Piper has good house manners and enjoys peaceful walks as well as cozy snuggles on the couch. While he’s been a little nervous after his shelter experience, he is warming up to strangers and other dogs. He lived with small dogs, cats, and even had a large pittie buddy, though he’s still a bit uncertain around big dogs. If you’re looking for an adorable adventure buddy, Piper could be your guy!
