Meet Piper
Piper is a 9 year old Shih Tzu mix. This old girl is super sweet and friendly. She doesn't hear as well as she did in her younger days so you might have to be a bit louder sometimes so she can hear you. She is very enthusiastic to come when she does hear you calling though. She's a very happy little girl who loves to sit in your lap and get petted. She will often demand the pets continue if you try to stop. She also likes to sleep up on a chair by herself most of the day so she isn't disturbed. She is a little old lady after all. She is fine with the other dogs and the cat in her foster home. She doesn't seem to really care that they exist at all. She causes no trouble in her fosters' home at all and hasn't from the start. Her one flaw is that she seems to have been fed from her owners' plate in her previous home and she immediately starts begging expectantly anytime someone eats anything in front of her. So if you can resist puppy eyes or are careful to only give her dog safe snacks and you don't mind having to repeat yourself a bit louder on occasion, Piper just might be the girl for you. Her adoption fee is $175 and includes age appropriate vaccines, vet check, deworming, spay, microchip and a heartworm test.
