The day we adopted Piper!

Life After Rescue: It took Piper about a month or so to get use to everything at our house. When we first brought her home, she was definitely afraid/nervous about her surroundings. She was even afraid of getting in the car (which is now one of her favorite activities). It was sad to see her so scared and even made us doubt our decision. However, we decided to stick with our decision and just show her continuos love. Needless to say, love won! She is an amazing part of our lives. She is loyal, calm, and happy. Her favorite activities are going on car rides, vacationing, sunbeams, and showing off her favorite sports teams. She loves other dogs but not so much other humans. It takes her a long while to warm up to them. We love our little Piper and couldn’t imagine our lives without her in it.
