Story
Meet Piper — Your Adventure Buddy, Snuggle Partner, and All-Around Best Girl Hi, I’m Piper! I just turned 1 year old and weigh about 70 pounds of pure love, brains, and fun. I’m a unique blend of American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Bully, and a mix of other awesome breeds — think of me as the limited-edition model of the perfect adventure companion. Raised in a home, not a kennel, I’m already housebroken, crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and on flea/heartworm prevention. I know all the basics — sit, down, stay, touch, and look — and I have great recall. I’m smart, food-motivated, and always excited to learn more. ⸻ Why You’ll Fall in Love • Adventure Ready: I love hiking, off-roading, car rides — if you’re going somewhere, I’m in. • Playtime Superstar: Fetch, balls, scent games, puzzles… I’m your girl. • Velcro-Level Loyalty: I bond deeply and love staying close to my person. • Smart & Trainable: Quick learner, eager to work, and focused with snacks. • Balanced Energy: I can go on adventures all day and then crash for snuggles at night. ⸻ My Ideal Home I have a confident, dominant personality. Because of that, I do best as the only pet in the home. I’m more about people than pack life, so no dog parks for me — but I’m all about walks, yard time, and exploring the world with my humans. ⸻ I Come With Everything You Need You won’t have to buy a thing. I come with: ✔️ A giant bag of dog food ✔️ Food & water bowls ✔️ A comfy bed ✔️ Toys and enrichment items ✔️ A crate (if you want one) ✔️ Anything else you need to get started ⸻ If you’re looking for a loyal, active, smart companion who will make every day more fun, Piper is your girl.

Story
We have had Scruff since he was 6 weeks old. He is very energetic and lovable. He enjoys running and playing outside. Unfortunately we don’t have a fence and I am not able to give him the life he deserves. He has a crate, bed, food bowls, leashes, etc. I just want him to go to a family that can provide the adventurous life that he craves.
