Piper is a Miniature Australian Shepherd. She is about 17 lbs and 14 months old. Piper is a very active mini Aussie. She knows a few commands and are working on more. She walks very nicely on a leash wearing a harness. She loves her walks! Super friendly with humans, children and dogs.
She seems to not be bothered by cats, but she is interested, and does have a prey drive, so all cats must be met before adoption.
Piper sleeps in her crate at night but is an early riser. She gets a cookie or a treat when she goes to bed at night.
She is very good at her house training when taken outside routinely. And she
LOVES being outside. The rain does not bother her one bit.
She is crated when her foster mom leaves and is given a lick mat, or Kong when she leaves. Always something to chew on also. She cries for a bit but does stop after a while. Her foster siblings are crated in the same room with her so she is not alone. Crate times are from 4-6 hrs at the longest and she keeps her crate clean.
She is also crated while riding in the car. Piper has a bit of drooling in the car. But that is improving as well. We practice car riding almost every day. A covered crate seems to work the best.
Piper is an Aussie, very active and smart so a busy home with lots of training as well as fun and games will be the best for her!
To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $400 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs. We do not ship dogs.
All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.
