Piper, rottweiler
Piper is a cheeky female rottweiler dog currently housed at Cody's Friends Rescue.
Piper gets along well with other dogs. No need to worry: She is already house-trained, spayed and has had all her shots.
Piper's current caretakers say:
Piper is a rottweiler with a strong and block body, tight knuckles and solid top line. Her soulful eyes, when they look into yours, keep you from seeing any of the typical rottie faults. Piper would do great in obedience, agility or tracking. She is an exceptionally intelligent dog, and wants to learn and please. She has learned sitz (sit) and platz (down). She also knows crate, outside, nein (no) and wait, and she goes to the door and touches the door handle to show she needs out. If you miss the cue or if you’re slow responding, she will return to you and nudge you with her nose.

Delia, Pomeranian mix
Delia is a charming female Pomeranian mix in the care of Cody's Friends Rescue.
Delia plays well with other dogs, and doesn't mind children. Rest assured: She is already vaccinated, spayed and house-trained.
From Delia's current caretaker:
This little girl is a beauty. She weighs 10 pounds and is about two years old. She will require lots of patience, as she is fearful. When she is held, she is calm and seems to relax, but when you put her down, she crawls into a ball.
