Story

This is Piglet the house hippo! She is a lovely staffy mix, 3yrs old, 65lbs. She is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and microchipped. We recently adopted Piglet from the Humane Society, but are hoping to rehome her without having her go back in the shelter due to some issues with family members small dogs. She is the sweetest dog. She loves people and LOVES snuggles. Her favorite things are balls, looking out the window, and falling asleep sitting up. She is relatively low energy, romping around in the yard for a bit in enough for her, although she also loves fetch. Piglet is crate trained and has been left alone for an 8hr work day. Piglet needs to be the only dog in the home, and she is not a fan of small dogs or cats. Again, she LOVES people. Piglet would do well as a house hippo and companion in a house with a fenced yard.

Story

Meet Rosie! 🐾 Rosie is a 1-year-old heeler mix who is settling into foster life and already showing her sweet, gentle personality. She can be a bit timid at first, but warms up with patience and love. She’s crate trained, dog friendly (loves her foster’s male heeler!), and very affectionate. Rosie is still building confidence with routines like eating and potty training while she’s in heat, but she’s doing great so far. She would thrive in a patient home—especially with another friendly dog—to help her continue to blossom. 🐶💕
