Critter Details

Piper is a sweet, fun-loving girl who’s ready to find her forever family! This outgoing pup is full of personality and joy — the moment she arrived at her foster home, she dove into the toy bin and started playing like she’d been there all along. She’s great with other dogs and children, and her eager-to-please attitude makes her a joy to have around. Piper is very food motivated, which means training will be both fun and easy. She’s already well on her way with potty training, and her cues are clear and easy to follow. Though she can be a little anxious in the car or when encountering new things like unfamiliar dogs on walks, she just needs a bit of confidence building — and she’ll blossom into the perfect companion for someone active and patient. When the day winds down, Piper turns into a total cuddle bug, snuggling up for bedtime and loving every second of it. She’s the perfect mix of playful energy and affectionate warmth, and she loves to follow her humans wherever they go. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you company, and love you unconditionally, Piper is your girl. All she needs now is a chance.This pup was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas.Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting.

The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs.  Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive.  From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" – https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
