Meet Piper 💗 PRE-Adoption ONLY Meet Piper, a young pup with a BIG personality, a lot to say and an even bigger heart! Piper and her three siblings are all looking for a special place to call their own. This little girl is full of beans and certainly isn't shy about making herself heard! 😂 If there's something happening, Piper will likely be right there in the middle of it, chatting away and making sure everyone knows she's around. She's a happy, playful little girl with plenty of character. Piper loves attention, enjoys being part of the action and is sure to bring lots of laughter and entertainment to her new family. Now, let's talk about WATER! These siblings are true water babies. From paddling pools to water bowls, if there's water around, you can bet there's going to be splashing! So don't be surprised if your floors get a little wet. 💦 As Piper is still young, she'll need someone home for part of the day while she settles into her new surroundings. Ideally, she shouldn't be left alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. This will help with toilet training, establishing a routine, building confidence and making sure she gets the enrichment and attention she needs. Puppy school would be a fantastic next step for Piper, helping her develop confidence, socialise and learn all those important puppy manners. She may also enjoy having a confident cat or a friendly, social dog in her new home to help show her the ropes and perhaps become her new best friend. Piper would suit a family with children who understand what young puppies need, including patience, gentle handling and a little tolerance for those very sharp puppy teeth while she's teething. We like to call them her little piranha teeth! 😂 Piper is a little girl with plenty of personality, a cheeky streak and lots of love to give. If you're looking for a puppy who will keep you entertained, fill your home with happy chatter and bring endless joy, she might just be your girl! Could you be the special someone Piper has been waiting for? 🐾💗
