Piper<\/p>\n

Piper has been at OC Animal Care in Tustin for three weeks after coming in as a stray. Staff notations say she\u2019s a strong pet with a big heart.<\/p>\n

Descriptions also say she\u2019s been having a challenging time adjusting to life at the shelter, but staff members say she\u2019s been improving.<\/p>\n

Piper is currently available for adoption, and she\u2019s available as part of the shelter\u2019s June adoption promotion<\/a>, which is waiving adoption fees for dogs 25 pounds and above.<\/p>\n
