Meet Piglet, a young female German Shepherd Dog at 1 year old. She weighs 60.2 lbs and has been spayed and vaccinated.

With a gentle approach and love, she can become a cherished part of any family.

About Piglet

Piglet is a sweet girl looking for a supportive family to help her shine. Brought in by a community member, she may be shy around new faces and spaces, needing some extra time to build trust. Once comfortable, she transforms into a friendly companion who enjoys pets and loves her treats. She would likely thrive in a quieter home with older children who can understand her body language. Piglet is still learning how to interact with other dogs and should have dog-to-dog introductions taken slowly. With positive reinforcement training, she can gain the confidence she needs. Piglet has been spayed and vaccinated and is now ready for adoption. If you're ready to give her the love and care she deserves, connect with an adoption counselor today!
