Story
Hello! My name is Zappa, and I'm a bundle of joy who loves to cuddle, play, and explore the outdoors. I'm always ready for an adventure, but be warned: I have a high prey drive and can't resist chasing after squirrels. A fenced-in yard would be perfect for me to run and play safely. I'm a big fan of pets and cuddles, especially from my foster parents. I get along wonderfully with my foster brother Ares, and we have a blast playing together. I thrive when I have plenty of toys to keep me entertained, so make sure to keep me busy to avoid boredom. I'm almost fully housebroken, with only the occasional accident inside. During meal times, my foster parents separate me from Ares because I can't resist trying to sneak his food! I'm crate trained and will happily go in on command. I am beginning to experience some hip dysplasia, with flattening in my femoral area. While the vet doesn't recommend surgery at this time, it's something that might be needed later in life. For now, I take joint supplements and Galliprant as needed to stay comfortable. If you're looking for a loving and playful companion with a zest for life, I'm your pup! Can't wait to meet you and become part of your family. Adoption Fee: $ 200 Estimated Date of Birth: Unknown Intake Reason: transfer from local animal control Animal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption. If their kennel card on display at TAPS shelter facility is marked as unaltered, the animal will be altered prior to being released for adoption. Animal stage may change from time to time based on surgery and medical status. TAPS strives to keep kennel cards as up to date as possible with current information but from time to time, information may change and a new kennel card may be pending. Full and current vaccination schedule and medical records along with any behavioral disclosures will be provided at time of adoption.

Story
Piper is a very sweet girl. I received from a couple when she was 9 months old. She has grown up with another dog, children and cats. She’s had 1 litter of puppies a few years back but has since been spayed. Piper loves daily walks and cuddles! She’s a pretty low maintenance dog. We’ll be sad to see her go but these deserves more attention than we can provide in our busy life.
