✨ Key Features of This Pup:
Move-In Ready: Fully upgraded with House-Trained and Crate-Trained certifications. No renovations required!

A Note From Piper: Ready for My Forever Home
Hi there, I’m Piper. I’ve traveled a long way—all the way from Afghanistan, actually—to find a place where I truly belong. I’ve seen a lot of the world, but these days, I’m much more interested in seeing the view from your living room rug.
What Life With Me Looks Like:
I’ve Got Your Back: I take my job as your companion seriously. I’m a vigilant guy with a big bark, so you’ll always know when someone’s at the door. I’m working on learning how to relax and "off-duty," but I’ll always be your most devoted protector.
I Play Hard: When I’m happy to see you, I get really excited. Sometimes I get a little "mouthy" with my play—it’s just my way of saying I’m having a blast! Because of my zest for life, I’d do best in a home with adults or older kids (10+) who can handle my energy.
I Appreciate the Quiet: The "party scene" isn't really for me. I prefer a calm, predictable environment where I can be your one-and-only, though I wouldn't mind a very chill, submissive dog sibling to hang out with.
I’m a Total Gentleman at Home: You don't have to worry about me when you head out. I’m great at staying home alone, whether I’m snoozing in my crate or claimining a spot on your bed. I promise to be on my best behavior.
Let’s Go Somewhere (Slowly): I’ll be honest—car rides give me a bit of "butterflies" and some extra drool. But because I love being with my person, I’m always willing to hop in and join you for the next adventure.
I’m just a soft, snuggly Shepherd looking for a patient person to give me some belly rubs and a permanent place to land. My bags are packed—are you ready for a loyal best friend?
Apply today to bring me home!

Edit: this is covered! Thank you so much!
*Grooming request for the Zimmerman or Elk River areas!* Piglet recently joined NDLB as a 14.5-year-old hospice foster. It goes without saying that we already adore her 💕 Piglet’s coat is a bit of a mess at the moment and we’d really really love to spoil her with a spa day.
So how can you help Piglet?
1) If you are a groomer in the Zimmerman or Elk River area, contact us if you’re willing to donate a groom.
2) If you are a supporter that would like to sponsor her groom, let us know! This gives the foster flexibility in scheduling. We estimate the groom would be between $100-$120. Extra funds would be used as a tip or donated back to the rescue.
Please contact Alicia at ALICIA@NDLBRESCUE.ORG if you are able to help! We’ll share photos of Piglet once she’s had the chance to see a groomer. Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

Looking for a tiny heater with a heart of gold? Say hello to Buster, a Terrier mix (born approx. 11/1/25) who has officially declared war on cold weather and a lifelong commitment to your lap. If there’s a blanket nearby, Buster is under it. If there’s a human nearby, Buster is on them.
Why Buster is the Best Boy:
The Snuggle Specialist: He’s not just a fan of cuddles; he’s an expert. He thrives on pets, ear scratches, and being told he’s the goodest boy.
A Foodie at Heart: From crunchy bones to soft treats, Buster isn't picky. He’s highly motivated by anything "yummy," which makes him a dream to train!
Gentle & Sweet: He has a calm, bonded soul and falls in love quickly with anyone who offers a little kindness.
Growing Up Fast: He’s already a pro at sleeping through the night in his pen and is a superstar with his potty pads.
The "Buster" Weather Report: ❄️
Buster has a strict "no paws on frozen ground" policy. He prefers to be carried outside like the little prince he is, but he’s perfectly happy using his indoor pads when the temperature drops. He’s looking for a forever home that promises to keep him warm, safe, and loved for all his days.
📢 Help Buster Find His Forever Warmth!
Buster is ready to trade his foster pen for a permanent spot on your sofa. Are you the one to keep him cozy?
