About Piglet

Meet Piglet, a gentle Isabella Dachshund ready to find her loving forever home. At around 4 years old and weighing just 11 pounds, she's a petite sweetheart with a significant story that deserves a brighter future. Having been utilized for breeding, she’s now discovering the joy of kindness, comfort, and love, which she's ready to embrace fully. Piglet faces a challenge with Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA), a genetic condition affecting her majestic coat and causing sensitive skin. While her fur may not fully recover, her skin is already showing improvement thanks to the dedicated care from her foster, Madelynne, a veterinary technician. Piglet is shy and sensitive, learning to trust the world around her. She needs a calm, patient home where she can acclimate in her own time, surrounded by love and understanding. A family committed to her ongoing skin care and veterinary needs will be ideal. She gets along with neither dogs nor cats, and a quiet, loving environment will make all the difference in her journey. Piglet dreams of a warm bed, gentle hands, and the love she truly deserves. Are you the one to give her the happily ever after she longs for?
