About Piper

Meet Piper! This two-year-old Pharaoh Hound and American Pitbull Terrier mix is a joyful bundle of energy currently located in Amherst, MA. At just 31 pounds, Piper boasts a sleek brown coat with a charming white chest and curious eyes that light up with excitement. Once neglected, she’s now a beacon of happiness, thriving in an active environment that matches her joyful spirit. Piper adores people, loves to play, and is quite the cuddler. Whether she’s racing around the yard with a favorite toy or engaging in a lively game of chase, her enthusiasm is infectious. She’s perfect for a family that enjoys outdoor activities, so walks, runs, and engaging enrichment games are essential in her daily routine. Already house-trained and crate-trained, Piper knows commands like sit, down, and stay. She’s a social butterfly who greets new friends with wiggly joy and heartfelt hugs. She gets along wonderfully with children and is compatible with other playful dogs. However, due to her strong prey drive, homes with cats or small animals wouldn’t be suitable for her. Despite her high energy, Piper has a gentle side too. After a good play session, she loves to curl up next to her favorite person for cozy cuddles and well-deserved naps. Though she can be sensitive to loud noises like fireworks, she knows how to find a safe retreat when needed. Piper shares a special bond with her calm and gentle friend George. While they would enjoy being adopted together, they can also find new homes separately, each ready to bring joy to a loving family. Could your home be where Piper's happiness truly takes flight?
