Piper
Piper has completed our home and filled our hearts with joy! We wanted company for our first dog Gypsy, who is 7 years old now and we knew that we wanted to adopt and give a dog the true life they deserve.
With our older dog being an American Staffy, we knew that we wanted to adopt a dog who matched Gypsy's energy levels - enter Piper! When we first visited SPCA and saw Piper, we instantly fell in love with her puppy eyes, which were just wanting love and attention.
Piper took her time to warm up to us, but once she started trusting us, she has not stepped back from showing her quirky personality in the best of times!
Watching Gypsy and Piper play just melted our hearts - it was almost like they both were made for each other and it was all meant to be. Piper has now settled in so well with us and Gypsy - they both are a living example of can't live without each other!
Piper brings out the child in Gypsy while Gypsy shows Piper the ropes and how beautiful life is!
Thank you for giving us Piper - our family is now complete.
