Meet Piper! An adult female Dutch Shepherd mix. Piper is a loving girl who enjoys nothing more than to take long walks and feel the breeze on her fur. Piper does have a playful side and also enjoys running in the yards and having a good time! She does enjoy cuddling up after a long day, she is waiting to meet you! Come on in and see our sweet girl.
*Piper did come in with her brother Caine, they have been together for majority of their life. We would absolutely love for them to go together, we also understand that they're both 50lb+, we will adopt them separately if need be.

Meet Caine! A male adult Husky- Beagle mix. Caine is mixed with two high energy breeds! While he is the sweetest, he does also have a lot of energy! After some time burning the excitement away in the play yards, Caine can often be found laying in the sun and soaking up some much needed vitamin D. Caine is a dog who would love to snuggle up with either his new home or his sister Piper. Although this boy loves to sniff everything out, he is mostly concerned with sniffing out the perfect home!
