About Super Senior Susie aka

Meet Super Senior Susie, also affectionately known as Miss Piggy! At 15 years old and weighing 17 lbs, Susie is a sweet and friendly girl who needs a loving home. She arrived at the rescue when her owner had to move into assisted living and couldn't bring her along. Susie is house trained, fully vetted, and ready to find her forever place. This charming girl gets along well with other dogs, wagging her tail at everyone she meets. She even knows some commands! She enjoys walks and maintains a good pace, though she can be a bit stubborn about coming indoors. Susie isn’t a big barker; she prefers to gently talk when she needs attention or wants to go outside. It’s important to acknowledge that she is in the twilight of her life. She has some dental issues, a small mass on her lip, and a lung mass that was discovered in August. However, despite these health challenges, she is maintaining a good quality of life. We’re not looking for someone to medically intervene; we want Susie to have a loving and comfortable environment for her remaining time. She deserves a place with lots of affection, gentle walks, cuddles, and a soft bed where she can relax. If you have the heart to welcome Miss Piggy into your life, you won’t regret it. Take a moment to consider adopting her. Ready to give Susie the love she deserves? Click apply to start the adoption process.
