My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Piper has an understated beauty and sweetness! Super affectionate, she loves to cuddle but is not needy, and will find a comfy spot to take a nap in when you are busy around the house. She's the canine version of a Zen master when inside, maintaining a serene silence. House-trained and crate-trained, with impeccable manners, she is easy to have around.

This girl is made for a simple life. She prefers sleeping on the couch rather than her crate. After morning zoomies in the fenced backyard she likes a quick trip to Starbucks for a pup cup (she loves going for car rides). During the day, Piper alternates between her favorite pastimes: playing or sunbathing in the yard.

Piper would adore a fenced yard so she can continue to romp to her heart’s content. And she would love to have another playful dog of similar-size or an active family (older kids would be fine).

She does the cutest trick with her toys: flings one up, watches where it lands, looks around (as if she can't find it), and then . . . pounces! And when she does her big stretches, she flips her back paws to stretch allllll the way down to her toes.

Although leash-trained, sometimes Piper gets nervous while walking out and about--but she is easily redirected with a word or a treat.

Adopt Piper, and you'll gain a loyal, loving friend who will enrich your life with her sweet nature and playful spirit!

HISTORY
One day, a mischievous fairy, charmed by Piper's striking good looks, decided to play a trick and transported her to our world.

Piper is up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed.

PHYSICAL
Piper is a brindle and white beauty with a short, low-shedding coat. She has soft floppy ears, dark eyes, a big black nose surrounded by and adorable black and pink muzzle.

Adoption Process

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
