About Piglet Aka Piggie

Piglet, known around the shelter as Piggie, is a white and red adult Pit Bull Terrier and Red Heeler mix with a short, smooth coat and big amber eyes. Left at the shelter overnight with only a collar and no microchip, Piglet’s early story is a bit of a mystery. Later, someone who knew his previous family reached out and confirmed his age is about 8—though Piggie moves with the energy of a youngster and loves long walks over posing for the camera. He weighs in at a solid 64 lbs and walks best with a handler confident on a leash. Piggie’s best home would be one without cats, as he cannot live safely around them. He isn't a safe match for kids, especially around food. With other dogs, he does fine as long as they aren't pushy or intrusive. He would probably thrive as the only animal in the house or with a compatible, easygoing canine companion. This guy is looking to settle in with someone special who respects his boundaries and can give him the fun, steady environment he deserves. Piglet is already neutered and up to date with vaccinations, and he can be fostered while he waits for permanent placement. As an Aquarius, he brings his own unique spark and independence to any household. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
