Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Piper is a loyal girl who will be her person's shadow.
She loves to run, jump, play ball (she'd make an amazing in-fielder), hike, and be in the middle of any gathering.
She energetically greets visitors and quickly settles in to the rhythm/energy of the room. She is an excellent office buddy, and loves to gives hugs, kisses and snuggles. She is patient with small children and adaptable in different family homes when we travel.
Piper's safe space has always been standing between our legs. She loves a good butt or ear scratch and has never been comfortable showing her belly.
She has a mind of her own at times and loves to take the occasional jaunt around the neighborhood, or to check out what's happening in the front yard, but she never strays far.
There are a few things she's not too sure of, like the vacuum cleaner, or a slippery new floor. She has never been destructive and does well in her crate, or outside when weather permits, while her family is working or out of the house.
She loves water (playing, not swimming). Sprinklers, water gun fights and water balloons are her jam in the summer. She also loves watching fireworks, going for road trips, camping, enjoys playing in the snow, and showing off her agility skills in her back yard.
Piper will be a wonderful addition to a family or individual who can dedicate daily time and energy to her. She would do well with another puppy friend and is fascinated by cats. She's incredibly adaptable to her people's energy levels and emotions.
