About Piper

Piper is a charming young Poodle mix brimming with personality. Despite her small size, she radiates energy and enthusiasm. Recently surrendered by her previous owner, she’s now on the lookout for her forever home. This little sweetheart adores playtime! With a collection of dog toys, Piper finds her slice of heaven. She is affectionate and loves being around children of all ages, often sharing her days with three kids in her foster home. They play together and sometimes even snuggle up at night. Piper does well with other dogs but prefers to take the lead, so she would thrive best either as the solo pet or with one easygoing canine friend. She tends to ignore cats and is friendly with people. Housetrained with a doggy door and crate trained, Piper also travels well. Given her active nature, she would flourish in a lively home, especially one filled with kids to keep her engaged. When playtime winds down, she’s more than happy to cuddle and keep your feet warm.
