Her foster shares: Piper came to me on April 13. She settled in very quickly. She gets along very well with my guy Fergus. All she wants to do is snuggle with you play with other dogs and play with her toys. She’s very food motivated, but not food aggressive. She's fine with sharing her toys. She walks well on the leash better with a harness than the collar.

She sleeps through the night in my bedroom, on her dog bed. She has not had any toileting accidents since being with me.

Even though her and Fergus get along great, I gate in the kitchen when I leave the house just to be safe. I play jazz music for her and leave her toys and a bone. She doesn’t do any damage or eat anything she’s not supposed to.

She tends to be VERY vocal when she plays. She has a habit of clicking her teeth, which is super cute! Sometimes she trills like a bird when she barks or it sounds like she’s rolling her R’s. If you’re not paying attention to her and she wants your attention, she whispers at you and rests her head on your lap.

She loves when you snuggle and hug her. She lifts her top lip into a smile like expression. When she gives you kisses she does the same facial expression and makes these little grunt lime noises.

Meet Piper Parker - a beautiful, 4 year old, Coonhound mix, who weighs 40 pounds (as of 4/1/25). Piper Parker was previously living with a loving family who loves her dearly. Piper Parker is a velcro pup who prefers to be with you 24/7 which was tough when her previous family brought home a baby. They didn't feel they were able to give sweet Piper Parker the love and attention that she deserves (and craves) and know that the perfect family is out there waiting for her!

She's house broken, crate trained (sleeps in her crate at night), and knows basic commands. She can be a bit anxious in new settings and when meeting strangers, but quickly settles in with treats and time. She does great with other dogs at home. She'd do best in a kid-free home so she can be your main focus. She is submissive, and would do well with a resident pup who is calm and can help build her confidence. She's also fine with cats!

Piper Parker is a great gal who is looking to start her next chapter with a new loving family!

Medical Disclosure: Piper is on multiple medications to help with her anxiety and eats Natural Balance limited ingredient salmon kibble and Natural Balance limited ingredient salmon biscuits. Piper has Masticatory Muscle Myositis which is managed with Prednisolone.

All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works.

Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
