Piper

Piper is an absolute gem when it comes to loving people. She greets strangers with the warmth of a long-lost friend and offers the most incredible, comforting hugs. This sweet girl loves to snuggle quietly in a chair, pushing her head against your shoulder, and adores being rocked to sleep. Despite a challenging past, Piper's capacity for love is truly remarkable, making her one of the most impressive and resilient dogs you'll ever meet.

As a Shih Tzu and Brussels Griffon blend, Piper embodies the affectionate and charming traits of her breeds. She has hair, not fur, which means she's a low-shedding companion, though she does require consistent professional grooming. While she's a lover of humans, Piper needs a patient and understanding adopter to continue her training around other dogs, as her past experiences may have limited her positive interactions. With gentle introductions and continued positive reinforcement, she is learning to trust and enjoy the company of other canine friends.

Piper's ideal home is one that can provide constant companionship, as she truly thrives when she's by your side. She would appreciate a home where she isn't left alone for long periods, though she can entertain herself with puzzles for a few hours. Older, dog-savvy children who understand canine behavior would be considered. A secure, fenced-in backyard would be wonderful for her to sprint and play. Most importantly, Piper needs a family willing to share their sofa and bed, offering her a lifetime of love and commitment without the use of a crate.
