Meet Piggy

Available for adoption!   Piggy is a super snuggly and 100% purely sweet 10-12month old lab mix puppy whose loving-eyes make everyone fall in love at first sight. She is  35-40 lbs, potty trained, crate trained and just overall a super submissive and sweet girl.   Piggy loves to curl up with humans and dog friends on the sofa and will stay there for pets and belly rubs for as long as you’re willing! She is a total mush and love bug. She is equally cuddly with dog and human housemates and will shower both with kisses to show her affection. She loves all people, other dogs, chew toys, and being out in the yard playing with pals. Her gorgeous chocolate coat fades to black on her feet, tail, and head.   Piggy came to the shelter with a litter of five other puppies. She is the last of her litter that we were able to pull from the shelter to help find their forever families. Her foster mom said we saved the best for last but she might be a little biased. She hasn’t barked or whined a single time and likes her crate. She spent pretty much her entire life in the shelter so she likes to collect the new fun toys she has access to and brings them into her crate, but is always happy to share! Since she’s still a baby and spent most of her puppyhood in the shelter, Piggy would do especially well with another dog to play with her and show her the world isn’t so scary. Piggy will require a fenced yard for now since she is not sure about leash walking yet. Please email [email protected] to request an application if you’d like to set up a meeting with this sweet and loving lady.     (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at [email protected]. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
