My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Piper is being fostered in PA.

Piper is a gentle and quiet little guy who is fairly new to his foster home (January 2025). He can be found napping and usually changes beds so he makes it like a game of hide and seek to check on him.
Piper is a bit skittish as far as being handled, especially with his head and face. He seems as though he's not been cuddled in a long time or else he is very timid in his new setting away from his original owner. He will take some time to learn to trust people and not pull away. If he is not being held, he does enjoy pets and scratches on his head and body, just not when being held.
He is very good at finding his way around his foster home and will investigate or will follow his foster mom when it's meal time. There are also times he needs to be awakened from a deep sleep to eat.
Piper is still adjusting to his new life. The first few days he would need his bedding changed about every 12 hours because he would mess in it but that has decreased to a very occasional poo on his blanket. He may always need to wear a belly band but he seems to hit the potty pads that are placed right off his beds most of the time.
Piper rides well in the car but does tremble at the beginning of the ride and when taken somewhere unfamiliar.
Piper needs to be carried up and down stairs.
He loves to investigate outside but hasn't had much time to do that since it's been frigid where he lives and he has little hair after needing to have a matted coat shaved off for comfort.
Piper is very good with small and large dogs, cats and people of all ages.
Because of his skittish temperament, a home with children under 10 is not recommended for Piper.
Piper's physical exam at the vet was good, however, we are watching his blood work because it is showing signs of possible kidney issues. An update will be posted as soon as we know more detailed information on this issue.
His foster mom would like to add that at the shelter he was given an age of 10 years but in his foster mom's opinion she thinks he could be a bit older; It's a secret Piper's not willing to share.
He is an amazing little man who just needs a little work on his timid demeanor and a wonderful, quiet home with lots of beds and blankets to snuggle into (he loves the beds next to the radiators in his foster home). His perfect family is out there and he's so excited to meet you!
BDRA has voted against the use of electric fencing effective immediately.
