My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Attention: This is a courtesy posting only! This pet is NOT available through Mountain Pet Rescue.  Please do NOT contact MPR for information about the pet or apply to adopt this pet on the MPR website.  Call or text 828-575-4119 for more information or to adopt the pet.

Piglet is an astoundingly loving, goofy and joyful boxer mix. His name suits him quite well, and he makes an adorable little snort when he catches a particularly good smell. His favorite things include snuggling (he likes to be a little spoon), giving hugs (he wraps his arms around you!), prolonged kisses, hiking, leaf piles and any and all food. He weighs 70 pounds but fully believes he is a lap dog and loves to sit on your lap in the car. He has a sweet little heart-shaped freckle on his nose that offers a hint to how full of love he is.

Piglet is an excellent running buddy and honestly loves to do absolutely anything by your side. He is fully potty and leash trained, neutered and vaxxed and knows a miriad of tricks (sit, shake, down, roll over, and most of the time stay and come - haha).

Tragically, we have to rehome him as he and our 4-year-old male pittie mix are no longer able to get along and live together safely. This has been one of the hardest choices our family has ever made but the only way they both can have a happy stress-free life.

Piglet has never had issues with any other dogs, but would do best in a home where he is the only dog or at least the only male dog. We would love to meet up for a meet and greet and home visit to see if Piglet could be a good fit for your family and to ensure he goes to a safe and loving home. He would come with all of his things including a crate, Kong brand bed, toys, custom beaded collar, gentle leader, and more. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and get to know our sweet little Piggie!

Call or text 828-575-4119. 



All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information.

Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.

Mountain Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax deductible charity (EIN 82-3039637) located in Asheville, NC.
