Piper

Meet Piper!

A joyful two-year-old Pharaoh Hound/American Pitbull Terrier mix currently in Hickory, NC, who's a little beam of sunshine with a zest for life that's simply irresistible.

At just 31 pounds, Piper is compact but full of life, with a sleek brown coat, white chest, and eyes that gleam with curiosity. Once neglected she now radiates joy, trust, and boundless energy. She loves people, delights in play, and excels at cuddling close! Whether she's zipping through the yard with her favorite toy in tow, bounding into a game of chase, or inventing her own version of keep-away, she brings spark and spontaneity to every moment. Her athletic build and sharp mind make her an excellent fit for an active family who can keep up with her joyful pace and offer plenty of outlets for her energy. Walks, runs, backyard games, and brainy enrichment toys are right up her alley!

Piper is house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows sit, down, and stay. She is a social butterfly who greets new people with joyful wiggles and heartfelt hugs! She's wonderful with children and very compatible with other dogs who enjoy play and companionship. However, due to her strong prey drive, Piper is not suitable for homes with cats or small animals. Her instincts are strong, and she'll thrive in a home that sets her up for success by providing clear boundaries, fun challenges, and loving structure.

Though she's high energy, Piper also knows when to settle down. After a good play session, she's all about curling up next to her favorite person for snuggles and a well-earned nap. Like many pups, she's sensitive to fireworks and loud sounds, and she appreciates having a cozy, quiet space to retreat to when things get a little too lively.

Piper shares a sweet and supportive bond with George, her calm and gentle friend. They would love to be adopted together if the opportunity arises, but they're also available separately, each ready to begin a new chapter with a family who understands their unique gifts.
