Story
PLEASE NOTE: PIGLET IS NOT PART OF THE L.E.A.R.N. PROGRAM
Piglet is located in INDIANA and is being cross-posted by L.E.A.R.N. as a courtesy to help him find the right home. He is currently in the care of PAAIN, an organization serving Batesville, Indiana, and the surrounding area.
Piglet is 3-4 years old, has a shorter, stockier build and looks very similar to an English Lab. His previous owner was his only owner and, after the two had been living in a car for several weeks, voluntarily surrendered Piglet to PAAIN for his health and well-being. PAAIN has been caring for him since May 16, 2026.
Piglet is primarily housed in a small shelter setting but has been spending time in a temporary foster home, where he is doing much better. He is very food-motivated, eager to please, and willing to learn. He listens well when corrected and has already made wonderful progress.
Because Piglet spent much of his life with very little structure, he will need a home committed to continuing his training, especially with leash walking and basic manners. He is learning quickly and does very well once he understands what is expected of him.
Piglet is very good with other dogs and cats and would especially love having a canine companion in his new home. He has also done well with a 5-year-old child, but because he is still learning manners, he could accidentally knock over a smaller child.
Piglet did come into care with some separation anxiety, but he has been making tremendous progress in this area. He is currently attending "Boot Camp," where he is receiving additional training, structure, and guidance, and his separation anxiety has improved significantly. He is learning to remain calm and comfortable in his kennel and is becoming more confident with time. Having another dog around also seems to help him feel secure, which is one of the reasons we feel he would thrive in a home with a canine companion.
Piglet has made tremendous progress over the last few weeks, and his potential is easy to see. His ideal home would have another dog and an adopter who can provide consistent training, structure, and patience.
Piglet really is a very good boy once he understands the rules. He is eager, capable, and ready to keep learning with someone willing to give him that opportunity.
Again, Piglet is NOT a L.E.A.R.N. dog. He is located in INDIANA and is being cross-posted by L.E.A.R.N. to help PAAIN find him the right home. If you are interested in Piglet, please email: info@paain.org or call: (812) 528-7478
