Piper is a 1-year-old, 44-pound Kelpie mix (best guess!) with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This friendly and outgoing girl loves meeting new people and is always ready to make a new friend. True to her active nature, Piper thrives outdoors and is happiest when she’s exploring, playing, or soaking up the sunshine. She has a playful spirit and would do best with a family who can keep her engaged and give her plenty of exercise and enrichment. Piper is also very food motivated, which makes her a great candidate for training. She’s eager to learn and will happily work for a tasty reward, making bonding and teaching new skills a fun experience. Beyond her playful side, Piper is incredibly sweet and affectionate. She loves pets and attention, and once she’s had her fun, she’s more than happy to settle in for some love. If you’re looking for an energetic, loving companion who’s always up for adventure and cuddles, Piper could be your perfect match! 💛 All dogs that are adopted from Butte Humane Society come microchipped, spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines, placed on preventions for heartworm, and flea and tick-borne illnesses.
