Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Hound / Mixed (short coat). PIPER HAS NOT COMPLETED HER VETTING AND WILL NOT BE SPAYED UNTIL FEBRUARY 4, 2026. APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY BEING ACCEPTED FROM WITHIN A 30 MINUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS BEEN SPAYED. Piper is a 3-month-old mixed approximate 21 lb., breed puppy in whom her foster mom can see many Labrador Retriever/Hound looks and behaviors. She came from one of three litters in the same household and was surrendered along with 12 of her half/full siblings from a home in Oklahoma (same dad, different mothers.) Piper has the most beautiful Tan and White smooth coat and lovely green eyes that will melt your heart. She is goofy and very outgoing and can be a bit bossy at times with her sister (she does have 5 pounds on her!) She enjoys being outside and running around outdoors and indoors with a toy held firmly in her mouth. She is very affectionate and loves to snuggle but is happy to be off on her own as well. She is doing very well with house and crate training but will need further work going forward. She is in a home with a teenage girl and 4 foster siblings and does well with the other dogs. She has not been around cats in her foster home.
