PIPER MAY IS A GORGEOUS chocolate dappled Dachshund. She is 3 years-old and weighs about 11 pounds. Right now, Piper is very shy and spends most of her time in her crate where she feels safe. She likes being held by her foster family and she always takes care of her bathroom business when she goes outside. As we receive more information about her, we will post it here. Piper is heartworm negative and currently being treated for some acute conditions related to her skin, eyes and ears. Piper will have a dental cleaning, be spayed and receive current vaccinations, heartworm prevention and a microchip as part of her rescue. Available through Tired Dog Rescue, Gulfport, MS. Fee: $275.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
