View more

is a tiny little girl that is in the prime of her life! Piper is a 9-year-old Dachshund x Chihuahua mix (aka a “Chiweenie”). She is approximately 6 pounds of activity. Don’t tell Piper she is middle aged, because she certainly doesn’t act like it. Piper was surrendered to a high kill shelter in Louisiana through no fault of her own. It happened that night that a volunteer needed a shelter dog to go on TV for a promotional spot, and Piper was chosen! She then stayed with the volunteer that night. She was a dream and we knew we couldn’t send her back to a shelter. She has been in foster care ever since and is now ready for her forever home up North! Piper LOVES people.. Little people, big people, it doesn’t matter as long as she can give them kisses!! Piper is very energetic and would love a family that would play outside with her and take her to the park!! Piper loves to ride in the car as long as she can ride in your lap. She has gotten along with every dog and cat she has met. Piper sleeps under the covers and right between her foster parents, which has led to her getting squished a couple times. She stays in a kennel during the day. Piper has never chewed inappropriately, Piper is house and kennel trained, but has had a couple accidents if we don’t let her out often enough. Piper is a food hound and loves table scraps. She will search them out at all cost. Piper is not a barker, so she would work in any home situation. She walks well on a leash, but does have a reverse sneeze, so I suggest a harness to protect her throat. Piper wants to be in your lap at all times. She doesn’t like it if she has to lay alone. She also like to give kisses, a lot, so we are working on some manners. She has shown a want to bolt out the front door, so we are also working on that. Piper would be a great little girl for any family. She is great with my infant that likes to pull her big ears, but may do better in a home with slightly older children that are less likely to step or fall on her.

Adult dogs have had their core vaccines---parvo, distemper, bordatella, and rabies, All dogs are tested and are heartworm negative. In addition they have been de-wormed and kept on heartworm prevention and flea prevention while in foster care. Most dogs come with a micr-chip already implanted. Adoption fees range from 235.00- 275.00 depending on the dog. Many times the adoption fee does not even cover the cost of all of the vetting we have done for a dog. In addition, some of our dogs are fostered in the South and come up once adopted---There is an additional transport fee for these dogs. Please contact the person listed in the bio for more information on a particular dog. We are very careful in placing our dogs--and look for the best home for each dog--All of our dogs are fostered in private homes, with fosters who get to know the dogs and know the types of home that would be best for each dog. Thank you for considering a rescued pet and we look forward to helping you find a great dog match--
