Piggy

English Bulldog · Female · Adult · 5 years

Piggy is a super cheeky and friendly little girl who came to us from a breeder. She is absolutely thriving and has quickly became a firm favourite among both staff, volunteers and now her foster carer. She’s one of those wonderful dogs who gets along with everyone she meets and her affectionate, happy nature really shines through. She loves people and cannot wait to be someone’s special girl. Piggy has settled beautifully into foster and taken home life completely in her stride, even snoozing through the vacuum cleaner! She is confident and relaxed in the home, sleeps quietly overnight in her crate and has quickly become part of the household routine. She absolutely adores human company and actively seeks out fuss and affection from everyone she meets, happily greeting visitors and enjoying playtime and cuddles. Like many Frenchies, Piggy is a true foodie and gets incredibly excited at mealtimes! She takes treats very gently and has recently started enjoying toys too, especially puzzle toys where she gets to sniff out hidden snacks. Piggy walks beautifully on her harness and lead, enjoying steady strolls and lots of sniffs. Although she is usually more of a leisurely stroller, when given the chance to run freely in a secure enclosed area she can absolutely tear around at surprising speed and clearly loves having a good zoomie with her doggy friends! She is currently living happily with both large and small dogs in foster and coexists very well with calm, respectful canine companions. She has also calmly ignored horses she’s seen while in foster care. She cannot live with cats or small furries and will try to chase cats on walks. Although Piggy had never lived in a home before coming into foster, she has adapted incredibly well and is already making great progress with house training. She is clean overnight in her crate and is learning a good routine for toileting outside, although she may still have the occasional accident while she continues to learn. In the right home, Piggy could happily live as an only dog soaking up all the attention, or she could be homed with another kind resident dog. She could also live with older, dog-savvy children who understand the importance of giving her time and space to settle. Piggy arrived with chronic otitis and has been receiving treatment. Her external ear has become thickened due to prolonged inflammation that was likely left untreated, and she has had polyps removed. She also has a Grade 2–3 heart murmur, which will need to be monitored in her new home for any future treatment that may be required. Despite this, she takes everything in her stride and continues to be her happy, loving self. Piggy is a wonderful little lady with a big personality packed into her petite frame, and in the right home she will make a loving, loyal, and endlessly joyful companion. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
