Story
Piper is the sweetest girl - she is a 7 month old purebred Portuguese Water Dog (hypoallergenic, no shedding!). Our family loves this sweet girl, but unfortunately we are not the right fit for her as we are always on the move and need a dog that is comfortable in public situations. She is incredibly fearful outside of our home (including our yard which backs up to a public space). Piper would benefit from a family who would love a sweet girl to hang out at home and in the yard. She is not ready for leash walks or public spaces as she becomes too scared. Piper is tolerant of other dogs - she is not aggressive in any way toward humans or dogs and current lives with a 4 and 10 year old. She is more comfortable with women and takes a bit to warm up to men. She is crate-trained, house-trained, and knows sit. Re-homing fee included to be sure our sweet girl goes to a loving home - she deserves a family with a lifestyle that allows her to be comfortable and happy in her space!

So, I may be named after a beautiful constellation in the sky ;) And honestly, I identify with coming from the heavens!! I am Draco, I am an AMAZING Doberman, found close to the rescue, in really HORRIBLE shape ;( So sad, for such a majestic breed.... hOWEVER........... I am back babies!!! And better than ever!!! I am so so loving, happy and sweet. I love FOOD (and getting it every...day.... WOW!) I am so so great with everyone I meet, too. I love all people, big small, skinny not so skinny ;D And I am looking for that one family who will fall for me and make me their own newest family member! I have had a rough go of it so my people will be very very picky about my forever family... you must know the breed and love us :) I will love you, that is a promise! I am fantastic with other dogs and would love a buddy, OR i can be the apple of your eye ;) ADOPT ME SOON!!! I am heart worm positive but have almost completed the treatment :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
