Piper

Piper has been at OC Animal Care in Tustin for three weeks after coming in as a stray. Staff notations say she’s a strong pet with a big heart.

Descriptions also say she’s been having a challenging time adjusting to life at the shelter, but staff members say she’s been improving.

She does best with slow instructions, according to notations, and it takes her a little bit of time to warm up when meeting new people.

Piper is currently available for adoption, and she’s available as part of the shelter’s June adoption promotion, which is waiving adoption fees for dogs 25 pounds and above.
