Piper – Up Close & Personal
Growing up as a rescue dog and wandering the streets of the unknown, I made my way to several kill shelters before I successfully found my forever home at Kay Search Group. Although I don’t assist in the job search or hiring process, I sit and look pretty, eat, sleep, play with my teammates and make humans happy!
