Piper

** If you are interested in adopting Piper, please fill out an application at: https://www.loveandpuppypawsdogrescue.com/adoption-application **<br/><br/>Piper is a sweet, spunky 3-4 month old wirehair terrier mix that weighs 7 lbs. She is expected to be around 25-30 lbs when she is fully grown. Don’t let her small size fool you! This little girl has a big personality, is super spunky, and a bundle of fun. Piper is a true social butterfly who absolutely loves meeting new people and making new friends. When someone new comes around, she's one of the first to say hello and is always happy to soak up whatever attention and affection she can get. She's incredibly people-oriented and loves being included in whatever is going on around her. Whether you're moving from room to room, working at your desk, or relaxing on the couch, Piper would prefer to be right there with you. She has a way of making herself part of the action without needing to be the center of attention every second. While she loves having her humans nearby, Piper also has a wonderfully adventurous and independent side. She's confident exploring new spaces, curious about her surroundings, and doesn't hesitate to wander off to investigate something interesting. She's the kind of puppy who wants to see what the world has to offer and is always up for discovering something new. When she isn't busy making friends or exploring the world around her, Piper loves chasing after her toys, playing with her doggy friends, chewing on her favorite bones, and curling up for a cozy nap on her foster mom's lap. She is incredibly affectionate and never turns down an opportunity for snuggles, scratches, or a little extra attention. She would make a wonderful companion for someone who works from home or is retired, but still active, and would enjoy having a little sidekick around throughout the day. She is perfectly content hanging out in your computer chair with you or curling up on a dog bed next to your desk while you work. She doesn't need constant entertainment and is happy simply being near her people. But don't let her calm workday routine fool you. Once the workday is over, Piper is ready to have some fun. She has that fun terrier personality that keeps things entertaining while still being incredibly affectionate and people-oriented. Piper would love a forever family who will make her a true member of the family and give her plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, and opportunities to be included in their daily life. She would be happiest with someone who enjoys having a little sidekick to take on fun adventures around town or going on hiking trails to explore nature. If you're looking for a little best friend with a huge personality, a playful spirit, and a serious love of cuddles, Piper may be the perfect match for you! <br/><br/>Piper is medium energy, so she is not going to be a lazy lap dog. She is playful, spunky, and loves to romp around the backyard with her doggy friends. She requires a few energy burning activities per day, like playing fetch or tug-o-war in the backyard, or play time with other dogs. As she gets older, she would love to go on fun adventures walking nature trails or having fun outings around town. If you want to go on a fun outdoor adventure, Piper will happily join you on a long hike and fun day at the beach, too. Once she has burned her energy, she is happy to cuddle up on the couch for a relaxing nap with her humans. She also loves puzzles and treat dispensing toys that she can work on to get yummy treats as a prize. Her ideal home will have a toy box full of squeaky toys, ropes, and chew toys, and she’d be thrilled to have a BarkBox subscription to keep the fun going with new surprises every month. Her adaptable energy level makes her a great fit for families who want a dog that can keep up when it’s time to be active, but also knows how to settle in and relax for lots of cuddle time. <br/><br/>Piper is dog, cat, and kid friendly. She is currently in a foster home with two older larger dogs. She adores them and really wants to be their friend, but they just tolerate her puppy antics and do not play with her. She would love to have another playful doggy companion in her forever home, and doesn't mind if they're big or small. She would not do well with an older dog who doesn't want a spunky puppy around initiating play time with them. She is still learning that not all dogs want to be her playmate and may annoy them. She would be okay if there wasn't another dog in the home only if her human is home more often than not and can give her lots of attention, playtime, and exercise. There is also a cat in her foster home that is larger than she is and she just leaves the kitty alone. If the cat walks up to her, she will politely exit the area and give the kitty plenty of personal space. She would do best with dog-friendly cats that have lived with dogs before, but wouldn't mind if there weren't any cats in the home at all because they're kind of intimidating to her. She has met older neighbor kids before and was happy to meet them. She will accept treats from them and loves to get cuddles from them. If there are kids in the home, she would do best with kids that are 6 years old and older. Because of her tiny age, no babies or toddlers that may accidentally hurt her if they try to pick her up or pull on her little tail/ears. <br/><br/>Piper is working on leash training and potty training, but has already gotten the hang of kennel training. She will sleep in a kennel at night with no fuss and likes to be tucked in with a toy and her favorite chew bone. When she gets older and masters potty training, she would love to sleep in bed with her humans at night. She does need consistent potty breaks every few hours while she's still young, so someone who is home more often than not to be able to take her out on a set schedule is necessary. She has not yet learned how to alert her foster mom that she needs to go out, and if she isn't taken out consistently enough, she will use a potty pad. She should be limited to a smaller area initially to get used to a routine and be taken out every 2-3 hours while she settles into her new home. Once she gets the hang of it, she will go longer between potty breaks. She would also benefit from having a doggy doorbell by the back door in her forever home so she can learn to notify you when she needs to go out. She will make it through the night without an accident, but needs to be taken out first thing in the morning when she wakes up. She has not yet started leash training outside in public due to her age, but has started getting comfortable with one in her foster's backyard. She will need to have additional practice with leash training once she gets home to perfect it more in public spaces. <br/><br/>Piper's ideal home would be one where she can be included in her family’s daily life and get plenty of love, exercise, and attention. She would love to live in a home with a fenced yard to run and play in. She’d also be perfectly content in an apartment, condo, or townhouse as long as her human works from home and she gets regular walks and playtime. She would thrive in a home with another playful, friendly dog to romp around and play with. No public dog parks for this sweet girl because who wants to risk your pup catching a disease or being bullied on by other random dogs anyways. She would love to have fun adventures at Sniff Spots for playtime and exercise if she doesn't have a private fenced-in yard. She will need a family committed to continuing her training, socialization, and basic puppy manners as she matures. If you work out of the home, she would benefit from going to doggy day care a few days a week so she can burn energy and play with some doggy friends. She would be fine sharing her space with a dog-friendly cat or older kids, and would really love to have another playful, energetic dog companion to run around and play with. If you're looking for a small companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Piper could be your perfect match! She’s ready to fill her forever home with playful antics, cozy cuddles, and plenty of love. <br/><br/>Piper is in a foster home in Austin, TX.
