My story

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

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VT
Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown, likely yes
Good with kids: Yes
Crate trained: Mostly
House Trained: Yes

Say hello to Piper, a kind-hearted pup with a gentle soul and a ton of love and affection to offer the world. Piper may start off a little shy, taking things slow as she gets to know new people and build trust. Once she feels safe, her sweet, affectionate personality truly shines — and she’ll reward you with unwavering loyalty, lots of love, and plenty of kisses.

She’s great with other dogs, loves playing with her foster siblings, and greets new dogs calmly and respectfully. She’s also wonderful with kids (ages 5 and up), approaching them tenderly, quickly becoming their favorite snuggle buddy. Piper has met a few cats outdoors and seems indifferent, though her experience with them is limited. Piper would thrive in a patient, loving home that understands her shy side and gives her the space she needs to blossom.

At home, Piper is fully housetrained. She's mostly crate-trained, going in easily for a treat and settling within a few minutes. She doesn’t mind spending some time alone but is equally happy being right near her humans. She walks beautifully on a leash, even though she’s still gaining experience, and loves going for easy walks with her foster family. When she’s not showing off her good-girl behavior, she enjoys squeaky toys, peanut butter treats (her favorite!), and romping around with her dog friends.

Looking for a loving, live-in companion that will treat you like gold? Piper’s your girl - one wag of her tail and you’ll be sold!

More about this rescue

Our mission at Last Hope K9 Rescue is to save every possible dog we can from being euthanized within high-volume kill shelters throughout the U.S.

As the literal “last hope” of nearly every animal we serve, we work tirelessly to place each one within a stable, loving environment that can act as either their forever home, or the gateway to their forever home. We also strive to ensure that all of our adoptions and foster placements are the optimal fit for everyone involved, including our dogs. This leads to our second goal: enriching human lives through canine companionship. To us, you can’t have one without the other.

Lastly, we promote animal welfare by lobbying important initiatives that both protect and give voice to the voiceless. By fostering an environment of collaboration with other organizations that share our goals, and working together instead of in competition, we find that we accomplish more.
