She has sores from no bedding, life-long elbow calluses from living on dirt, and other infections, plus heartworms on top of all that.  She is being examined closely and will be given the necessary medications to make her feel better and to get her health up to par.  She will be spayed after she is healthier and then heartworm treated.  Her nature is a wonderful example of our precious Great Dane breed in that she is soft, sweet, loves petting and attention, and it is in her eyes that she just wants to please you. 

She gets along with other dogs that have been introduced to her and loves everyone she meets.  She is a dog that everyone SHOULD love, but one who nobody wanted because she wasn't the prettiest at the animal shelter...not her fault, but the fault of humans and the lack of care she received previously.  Once healthy, Piper will be a beautiful girl on the outside, just as she is already is on the inside!
