MISS PIGGY - PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. This sweet mama arrived as a stray with her nursing puppies—doing everything she could to keep them safe and cared for after her and her babies were left outside in the elements to fend for themselves. Despite her hardships, Miss Piggy was the best mom she could be to raise her puppies. Now that her puppies are weaned and safe, Miss Piggy is finally ready to retire from motherhood and live the good life she’s always deserved so she can take those vacations she’s dreamt of for far too long. Miss Piggy is a sweetheart through and through—she loves people, loves other dogs, and is a well-socialized, wiggly girl who soaks up affection and gives the gentlest hugs in return. She enjoys playing with other dogs, splashing around in the pool, and taking leisurely walks—she walks well on leash, seems potty trained, and is always ready for her next cuddle session or outdoor adventure. Whether she’s your brunch buddy on the patio, your couch companion, or your adventure sidekick, Miss Piggy is ready to be by your side. After being failed by humans, left outside to fend for herself and her babies, this resilient and loving girl is ready to be the one cared for—for once and for all. Miss Piggy worked hard to protect and nurture her puppies. Now, she’s looking for someone to cherish her with the same devotion. Could that someone be you? Miss Piggy was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico.. Meet and greets are by appointment only. An approved application is required to schedule a meeting.

These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.

A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - .science/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
