Piper is a resilient and sweet Doberman, estimated to be around 3-4 years old, who has already endured more hardship than any dog should. She was found living outside in brutal -20°F temperatures on a northern Indian reservation, struggling to survive. Despite the harsh conditions, Piper is gentle and loving, proving her incredibly kind spirit.
Sadly, she suffered frostbite on her ears and nipples, which will likely leave her with permanent scars. She also appears to have recently had a litter of puppies, a heartbreaking reminder of the difficult life she’s led. Yet, through it all, Piper’s kindness has never wavered—she is wonderful with children, great with other dogs, and even cat-friendly. Her experiences have made her both resilient and deeply affectionate with people of all ages.
Now safe in her foster home, Piper is getting the love and attention she deserves. Her foster mom adores her and says she is the best dog—easygoing, well-mannered, and a joy to have around. She walks beautifully on a leash, making her a perfect companion for strolls, and she has enjoys hanging with other canines and felines, where she loves playing and socializing with her furry friends.
Piper deserves a forever home where she will never again be left outside to fend for herself. She will soon be spayed, microchipped, and fully ready for adoption. Her foster mom knows she will make a wonderful addition to any home—could that be yours? If you would like to adopt this incredible girl, please apply today—she’s ready to start her new life filled with love and security. ❤️
