Notes: Piper is an unclaimed stray who is a really sweet affectionate girl. She loves people and gets along well with other dogs. She weighs about 40 pounds now and should be at her full adult weight. She is two to three years old and walks well on leash, but she is not yet fully house trained. Piper should do well with children because she is gentle and not too big. She is looking for a forever home with a big fenced yard so she can safely run around and play and would love some kids or another dog to play with. And she wants all the belly runs and pats she can get when inside with her family.
This dog has been available for 8 days
