Piper

Meet Piper - a gentle little soul looking for a patient, loving home <br/><br/>Piper is a 5-month-old Chihuahua mix weighing about 11 pounds. This sweet girl is still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place, and she is looking for a family who will help her build confidence at her own pace. Once she feels secure, Piper enjoys being held, sitting in your lap, and playing with toys of all kinds - ropes, squeaky toys, and stuffed friends are her favorites.<br/><br/>Piper is a sensitive puppy who can become overwhelmed easily. When things feel like too much, she seeks comfort in her safe space, usually her dog bed, where she can relax and regroup. Because of this, she would do best with a calm, patient home that understands shy dogs and will give her time to blossom. She is very smart and will benefit greatly from gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement training.<br/><br/>She has done well with other dogs but may retreat when play becomes too energetic. Feeding separately is recommended, as she has shown some uncertainty around food and did get into a serious disagreement over food bowls in the past. Piper also experiences car sickness, so shorter trips or gradual exposure to car rides will help her adjust over time.<br/><br/>Piper is crate trained for bedtime and settles in nicely at night. She currently has no known medical issues.<br/><br/>Piper at a glance:<br/> Breed: Chihuahua mix<br/> Age: 5 months<br/> Weight: 11 lbs<br/> Good with dogs: Yes, but easily overwhelmed<br/> Good with cats: Unknown<br/> Good with kids: Unknown<br/> Good with women: Yes<br/> Good with men: Unknown<br/> Medical issues: None known<br/> Crate trained: Yes (sleeps in crate)<br/> Personality: shy, gentle, smart, affectionate once comfortable<br/><br/>Piper may start out a little timid, but with love, patience, and a quiet environment, she has the potential to become a deeply devoted companion.
