Piper’s life on the streets of Oakland was full of adventure, but thanks to a kind stranger-turned-foster, this 2-year-old, 41-pound shepherd mix is now learning what it means to be truly loved. With her striking two-colored eyes and spunky personality, she’s the perfect blend of playful and affectionate.

Why Piper is the Perfect Companion

🐶 Smart & Trainable – She’s already mastered “sit” and “paw,” walks great on a leash, and is eager to learn more.
🐾 Playful & Social – She enjoys doggy playtime but prefers setting her own boundaries, so well-matched dog friends or a solo-pup life with playdates would be ideal.
🛏️ Crate-Trained Superstar – When bedtime rolls around, she sprints to her crate and sleeps peacefully all night.
🚗 Adventure-Ready – Loves car rides, hikes, and sunbathing.
💖 Loyal & Affectionate – After playtime, she’s all about snuggles and belly rubs with her humans.

Piper is still learning to share her food and favorite toys, so she’d do best in a home without young kids and with a patient adopter who understands her playful yet independent spirit.
