Story
🐷 Meet Piglet — the Sweetest, Spotty-Eared Baby Boy! 🐾
Piglet is a 2-year-old pittie–lab mix (we think!), and he is every bit as precious as he looks — soft smile, goofy ears, little orange freckles, and the sweetest heart you could ever hope for in a dog.
Piglet is that dog — the one who makes you smile the moment you meet him. He greets the world with a waggy tail, a wiggly body, and big warm eyes that say, “Hi, I’m your new best friend.” He opens up to people quickly, especially when he realizes you’re there to give him love, and once he trusts you, he is SO affectionate. This boy is a total sweetheart through and through.

Piglet also might have the cutest ears in the universe — one stands up like it’s trying to tune into satellite radio, and the other flops over in the most charming, “Don’t worry, I’m just happy to be here” way. Add in his little orange spots and baby-pink nose, and he’s basically perfection. He’s smart, treat-motivated, eager to please, and absolutely loves toys — balls, squeakies, anything he can carry around proudly. He also is a water loving boy! He does well in baths, but also loves jumping into a pool, or even a miniature pool.
Piglet also does great with dogs! In bigger groups, he can be a little aloof at first, but in one-on-one or small play sessions, the fun Piglet comes out BIG time. He LOVES playing when he feels comfortable, and once he is comfortable, he is all about rough housing and zoomies. He loves chasing other dogs in a game of chase, and he loves being chased as well. He is also content with just wrestling! So whether another pup wants to play chase, or wrestle, Piglet is the guy. Don’t you worry! Piglet does well without his canine buddies too, he loves his people and will be right by your side!
Piglet is a fantastic dog in public, too — he’s even been to a doggy-day baseball game to cheer on the Houston Astros, where he handled the crowds, noise, and excitement like a total superstar. He’s does fairly well on leash, which makes the outings even more enjoyable for everyone. He loves tagging along and being part of whatever adventure his people are doing.
And the best part? Piglet is as low-maintenance as he is lovable. He could thrive in either a home or an apartment, with a dog friend or as your only pup. He’s low-energy, cuddly, silly, and just wants someone to love him, toss him a ball, and treat him like the baby boy he believes he is (and honestly… he’s right). Once Piglet is comfortable and finds his person, his personality blossoms — goofy, adorable, affectionate, and happy, happy, happy.
If you’re looking for a sweetheart with floppy ears, gentle manners, a heart of gold, and a face you’ll want to kiss a million times… Piglet is your boy. 💛

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
