Piper - Chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption in Lenexa, Kansas

Meet Piper

Piper is a 9-year-old Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix weighing just 5 pounds. After her owner tragically lost their home in a fire, Piper is looking for a fresh start and a loving lap to call her own.

This tiny girl may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet personality shines. Piper absolutely loves attention and affection and is happiest curled up beside her favorite person or soaking up the sunshine during a cozy nap.

Piper enjoys the simple things in life-walks around the neighborhood, car rides, pup cups, and plenty of cuddle time. She has lived with other animals before and can do well with cats and small dogs when introduced properly.
