About Piggy

Piggy is a charming young miniature Schnauzer who was rescued along with his brothers from a challenging situation in Mississippi. After living outdoors and ending up matted, he has undergone grooming and has been updated on vaccinations. Though Piggy is friendly, he is a bit shy and takes time to warm up to men. With some gentle patience, he will surely become a loving companion. Piggy is good with other dogs, which could help him adjust more easily in a new environment. His adoption fee is sponsored at $0, making it a great opportunity for those looking to add a furry friend to their home. He does need some house and leash training, but with consistency and stability, he will thrive. If you are considering adopting or fostering, be sure to check out the application on the Champlain Valley Canine Rescue website. Piggy will be arriving in Vermont on October 17th and is eager to meet his new family.
