Meet Piglet

Piglet was rescued from a hoarding situation in Georgia along with his mother and 3 litter mates in 2017. When he didn't respond to visual or auditory cues, the rescue quickly realized that Piglet was deaf and blind.

When Piglet arrived in Connecticut on March 4th, he was only 1 1/2 pounds. We planned to foster Piglet until he found his forever home, but as things happen, his foster home turned out to be his forever home. We adopted Piglet in May 2017.

After months of screaming and severe separation anxiety, Piglet finally got into a routine snuggling in his Favorite Dad's arms, playing with his dog siblings, taking walks down the street, traveling to house calls with his veterinarian mom, and visiting his best human friends at the animal hospital.

When we first adopted Piglet, his mom made a promise that he would have a meaningful productive life - and he certainly has! Piglet has attracted well over 700,000 followers across numerous social media platforms, and the Piglet Mindset Educational Program has taught thousands of children about resilience, inclusion, and kindness. Piglet is an ambassador for disabled pets and people, and now we have two books that bring his message to even more children and adults around the world.
