About Piggy

Meet Piggy. Piggy represents the idea that great things come to those who wait. Once she decides you're her person, congratulations—you've secured the role of her go-to snuggle buddy. She loves curling up next to you during the night, believing personal space is more of a suggestion than a rule. This sweet girl has mastered essential life skills. She's potty trained, kennel trained, and an excellent travel companion. Plus, she’s a professional nap enthusiast. Despite being a young pup, Piggy's surprisingly chill until she hears the delightful squeak of a toy. Then, all bets are off. Squeaky toys? Gone in a flash. Fluffy toys? Only shreds remain. She has even been known to supervise the chickens in her yard, mostly to give them a little scare—she has no real intention of harming them, really. Every princess has her quirks, and Piggy is no different. She believes that moving tires are quite the threat. Whether it's lawn mowers, golf carts, or cars, if it rolls, she’s ready to engage. For her own safety, Piggy needs a securely fenced yard to thrive in. Also, she tends to be shy around newcomers, as early socialization was missed. Piggy will take her time warming up, but once she trusts you, her loyalty and affection are boundless. Having a confident canine sibling in her new home would be beneficial, helping her gain more confidence in unfamiliar situations. Piggy isn’t looking for perfection, just kindness. Those who take the time with her will be rewarded with one of the sweetest, most cuddly companions you could ever wish for. Ready to welcome a loyal friend into your life?
