Meet Piper

Piper is adventurous but wants to know where her person is even while running around the yard. She is very big on showing you her love by giving all the kisses. In the yard she likes to do zoomies, play tag with her foster siblings, or tug o war with a toy. She does want to follow you around while in the house and prefers to have a toy in her mouth while doing it. She may have a hint of shyness at first, but warms up quickly. She’s perfectly content simply being close to the people she trusts! She will make a great, loyal companion!

Piper is working on sleeping through the night with no accidents in her crate, does great for baths and being handled. She is loving her foster siblings both the dogs and kids.

She is being fostered in Richmond, VA and is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, has been dewormed, and is on monthly preventatives. Her adoption fee is $375 and covers the cost of age-appropriate core vaccinations, microchip, and required spay when age-appropriate. We require that all adopters, regardless of the dog’s age, are committed to ongoing training and socialization as part of responsible ownership. To apply to adopt Megan, visit www.beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.

Spay/Neuter Disclosure:
Spay/Neuter will be scheduled when age-appropriate and is covered in the adoption fee. We require adopters to be within a reasonable distance of Richmond or Virginia Beach in order to complete spay/neuter with our approved clinics.

Note: Sending a Petfinder inquiry is not submitting an application. We require a completed adoption application to move forward with adoption.

Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives, and cats must be altered and up to date on rabies) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
