Puppy
Piper
Adoptable
Profile Information/tell us more about this pet | Piper is a super sweet, super smart puppy protege. She is rather mild but has puppy bursts of energy. She is in the teething stage so she likes to sample things around the house and needs guidance on which items are allowed. She is working on her house training and has a good foundation started for loose leash walking, sit, name recognition, and has an incredible recall. This doesn’t mean you’re getting a trained puppy though, it’s just the start and her new family needs to be dedicated to continuing this work to enjoy a well-rounded, dog who listens well to commands. She has been socialized with other dogs, and visited cats who were scarier than her-which she responded to with little interest but her curiosity is gaining. She has visited chickens but their food and poop are generally more interesting. She would love another dog buddy and an active family who would spend lots and lots of time with her. She is very well crate trained and sleeps 7 hours in her crate willingly and without a peep! She has been kenneled for short periods during the day or in a dog run with a dog door. She is a really nice dog with an even temperament and she’s so dang cute. ADOPTION FEE $595 |
