Hot Pepper aka Piper

This little cutie arrived from St. Thomas in early February and has been nothing but an absolute joy! Nothing like waking up to pure happiness and sunshine from this little lady. Hot Pepper aka known as Piper is believed to be a Shih Tzu and terrier mix. She's a petite gal weighing in at a whopping 10 pounds. She is a young, playful, yet calm dog, who would fit any lifestyle. She is currently being fostered with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and she's rocking it. Piper loves people too! Especially if you have a handy treat available. This little girl will do a cartwheel for a snack. Piper loves her chew toys and spends hours happily chewing on them to keep her teeth cleaned. She also enjoys hanging out on your lap or doing chase and catch games. Car rides? Perfect little partner! Great at the Vet. Great on leash and non-reactive to the environment. She is a quiet little dog and rarely barks. She is crate trained and currently sleeps on her own at night in her crate with all her stuffies. She adores her crate. She is potty trained to go outside to do her business after initially struggling to learn this probably because of the climate change She is said to not be a fan of cats. Pros: EVERYTHING! Great little dog. Cons: Occasional accidents inside due to confusion. We believe she was pee pad trained. She finds door mats or small rugs to do her business on. This behavior has mostly subsided, but will still need to be monitored. In St. Thomas she showed signs of separation anxiety but with the proper sturcture here, she has shown no signs of it. We are looking for a family that will be able to give her structure and rules to follow but with that, she'll show you so much love.
