About Pidge

Pidge narrowly escaped euthanasia thanks to Mutt Scouts stepping in for her. She's a tiny Yorkshire Terrier and Miniature Schnauzer mix with a gray-blue medium coat, and she makes her love for people obvious. While she has some separation anxiety, she's already showing progress and responds well to reassurance and routine. Pidge thrives on cuddles and really enjoys being held—if you're after a companion dog who's always close by, she's a perfect fit. She's looking for either a foster or a forever home, ready to bond with someone who respects her need for closeness and can help her feel safe as she continues to build confidence. She also gets along with other dogs. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
