Here's what the humans have to say about me:
“Meet Miss Piggy and Toby – Bonded Pair Looking for Forever Home”
Have you heard the saying “Two is better than One!” or “Two is more Fun than One!” – well Miss Piggy and Toby hope you agree because they are looking for that special home who will adopt them together!
Miss Piggy and Toby are very attached to each other, are a bonded pair and therefore will need to be adopted together.
Also they love being with humans who can give them attention and spend time with them, so would prefer to be in a home with someone who is home a lot and/or can take them along during daily activities.
Piggy and Toby each have their own unique personalities.
Read more about them in their Bios below.
More info on Miss Piggy and Toby:
Miss Piggy
Little Miss Piggy (“Moi?”) is so named for her entree as she entered the stage of our rescue from a high kiIll facility in the central valley.
She is quite the show-personality, and very human oriented, eager to have your attention. She is an approx 7 year old chihuahua mix, a “chi terrier”, approx 1/4 inch fur, longer than a chi, and is approx 7 lbs.
A tiny dog with a big personality, Piggy is affectionate, loyal and sweet. She walks well with a harness and will also follow her human around the house or yard. In a home environment, she gets along well with other animals (cats and dogs) and gentle, respectful children. She is used to cuddling up with other small dogs, and living with nonreactive, mellow large dogs.
She does not like to be lifted up suddenly or roughly, possible result of slight degeneration in vertebra, common in chi”s , also x-rayed and tested extensively by vet. Piggy does best when someone sits with her while she eats and several feedings throughout the day of wet food, meat with vegetables works best; she just cannot handle so much at one time. She will nibble a bit throughout the day on her own, if food is left out for her.
Her energy level is great, like a little wind-up doll and that tail just wont stop wagging when you approach. She will also relax on your lap, nap in a sunny spot, or her favorite: create her den in the covers of your bed. there is nothing quite like being greeted by the kiss of a tiny tongue as you stir in the morning with an enthusiastically wagging tail on the other end:) She is house trained if let out regularly, esp after meals:) playpen doesn’t work too well, she is an escape artist:) large wire crate in family room works, but smaller plastic crates dont go over well with her.
She will run up to large dogs yapping as many small dogs do, and needs to be kept safe from dogs who may see her as prey; therefore, small dog experience in her new, loving forever home is great.
Little Miss Piggy will provide high entertainment for many more years to a person or family who will give her companionship and a comfy home situation.
Toby info:
Toby is a sweet, gentle, mellow fellow looking for a home that has a girlfriend around his size to play with. He likes to be cuddled and, once in a while, will let you know that he wants some loving. He likes to go on walks and is very good on leash but will let you know if he thinks your feet are too close for comfort.
If he hears you call his name he will come quickly. Toby will protect his territory by barking loudly, though he won’t bite. He likes to sleep under a blanket because he has very short hair and gets cold. Toby will do his business outside as long as he has a way out, especially early in the morning.
