Piper

Piper is a 5-and-a-half-year-old beautiful girl who cannot wait to find a home of her own. Unfortunately, Piper’s owner passed away and so she and her sister Phoebe were sent to a shelter. Both girls are up for adoption, either together or separately. Piper loves to play with other dogs and is extremely social with everyone she meets, the total life of the party. She loves to go for walks, play with toys and hang out with her foster family. She will make a great addition to most homes.

Mama Noelle is a stunning 3-year-old waiting to meet her forever family. She was found on the streets, very pregnant. She is now ready for adoption!
