Story
Piper is a sweet, loving, playful, high-energy girl that will be your loyal companion like no other. She was rescued 3 years ago when she was two. She loves people and being active, and will be five years old on February 27, 2026. Piper does best as the only pet. She isn’t comfortable with dogs, cats, or other animals and can be territorial on leash in familiar areas, though she’s less reactive in new environments. She may chase smaller dogs and can be triggered by animals on TV or outside the window. She would thrive with an active owner or family who enjoys walking, hiking, and outdoor time. A fenced-in yard would be ideal. Piper has a loud bark and may alert to new sounds at first, but settles in once comfortable. This decision has been incredibly difficult, but due to a required move to live with aging parents who have a cat Piper’s needs can’t be met in that home. I’m hoping to find her a loving, environment where she can thrive. All required vaccinations are up to date.

Story
Meet Isabella!! From Spins to Snuggles — the Rodeo Clown of Your Heart Isabella is a 2-year-old, 40-pound Jack Russell terrier mix (with a sprinkle of mystery DNA and a whole lot of personality). She’s sweet, silly, and just quirky enough to keep you laughing. At first, she might hang back and size you up — her “is this human cool?” test. But once you pass, watch out: you’re getting kisses, wiggles, and a lifetime subscription to her comedy show. Her signature move? The spin. When she’s happy, Isabella goes full Spinderella, twirling on her back feet like she’s auditioning for Broadway. Add in her zoomies, her famous “pancake flop” when she’s not ready to move, and her bob-and-weave routine that makes clipping her leash a sport, and you’ve got front-row seats to the funniest rodeo in town. And once the leash is clipped? Boom — she’s off like a racecar at the Indy 500. But don’t let her rodeo clown energy fool you. Inside, Isabella is a world-class snuggler. She settles beautifully with a toy or a cuddle and will happily trade in her rodeo boots for a quiet night in. She’s crate trained, house trained, walks well on leash, and has a wonderfully balanced energy: playful and spunky outside, calm and affectionate inside. She’d adore a fenced yard to show off her spins and zooms, and while she loves the company of other pups, she’d also thrive as the star of your show. Isabella isn’t just a dog — she’s joy, laughter, and love bundled up in one bouncy, goofy package. If you’ve been waiting for a best friend who’ll make you laugh daily and love you endlessly, Isabella is ready to lasso your heart.
