Story
Are you looking for double the cuddles, double the belly rubs, double the love? Look no further than this bonded pair of ladies! Piglet and Little Bit are here to give you all that and more.
Piglet and Little Bit are 5 and 6 year old female chihuahua mixes that were surrendered to a shelter when their Dad developed some health issues that required their Mom to look after him while also working full time. Due to staff changes and technical difficulties at the shelter, they were there for 3 months before our rescue found out about them and brought them into a foster family. Their foster mom says they are the sweetest girls ever when it comes to people.
It may take them a little time to warm up but once they do, you're in for ALL the snuggles! Piglet and Little Bit are very affectionate and attentive- they want to be with their people as much as possible and will vocally express distress if kept apart from you. (Their foster mom suspects that with time, stability, and sufficient affection their distress will lessen significantly.) While they prefer to be in your lap when you're home, they will happily and quietly hang out wherever you are.
This duo may exhibit some marking behavior when settling into a new place. However, they are happy to and prefer to go outside to potty. They will also use pee pads while their people are away.
Once they get to know you, you will see the cutest zoomies ever from Little Bit when she is excited to see you and Piglet will give you the most adoring looks! Piglet and Little Bit both do the circle dance of excitement on their way to go outside or when their meals are being prepared. They LOVE kisses, even kisses on the nose once they are feeling comfortable, and will roll over for belly rubs at the slightest sign that you're willing to give them.
Little Bit and Piglet like to take turns grooming one another, making sure that each has presentable eyes and ears. They cuddle up together wherever they go and are rarely seen in separate rooms. They are also good listeners and will respond appropriately to 'Come on Ladies/Girls' (to get them to follow you), 'Let's go outside', and 'No' (they will give you their attention to see what is the 'No').
Piglet's foster mom calls her a 'weighted blanket' dog as she likes to put her head on her foster mom's chest and relax her body down into her lap. At 13 and 1/2 lbs, she's the perfect weight to provide soothing pressure without being too heavy to lift comfortably. Piglet is usually the leader of this pair with Little Bit following her lead in everything except food.
Little Bit is the smaller lady, at 9 and 1/2 lbs, and has a very expressive face. She unknowingly makes some of the funniest expressions you ever saw on a doggo, occasionally looking a little crazy eyed but once you get to know her personality you'll see that it's just a little uncertainty and a whole lot of silliness. Little Bit is the more timid lady of this pair but once you win Piglet's trust, she will follow her sister's lead.
These ladies can be hesitant when it comes to new foods or treats but do learn to enjoy new things with a little encouragement. Little Bit is the leader when it comes to new foods. She will be the first to taste anything new and Piglet will go for it once she sees her sister enjoy something. As a bonded pair, these ladies are not food aggressive with one another. Their foster mom says she's never seen doggos take turns eating from the same bowl until now.
Piglet and Little Bit are ready to meet their furever family! They are almost fully vetted, having been spayed and brought up to date on their vaccines. They are both microchipped, heartworm negative, and on heartworm and flea prevention medications. Little Bit is in need of a dental, which is already scheduled and will be taken care of by CRT in the coming weeks, but can be a foster to adopt until this last vetting is complete.
As a bonded pair, Piglet and Little Bit can only be adopted together. If they sound like the perfect pair for you, fill out an adoption application to meet them. They are looking forward to finding their furever home!
Piglet and Little Bit’s combined adoption donation is $600.
