Piper is a bright, playful Malshihpoo with a loving personality that shines once she feels comfortable. This approximately 1-year-old, small dog enjoys playtime, walks, toys, tail-chasing, grooming, and canine companionship. She was found as a stray and is learning the rhythms of indoor life with her foster family.

Piper may be reserved during introductions and needs people who let her approach at her own pace. Once she trusts you, she becomes affectionate, playful, and devoted. She does especially well with other dogs and would enjoy a playful canine companion or regular dog playdates.
