Melissa Shapiro was looking for a dog to foster when she came across the story of a piglet-looking puppy named Piglet. Melissa was told that the couple who owned Piglet initially only had three dogs at home, but they multiplied to thirty-seven because they failed to spay and neuter the pups.
Melissa recalled that Piglet was one of the thirty-seven dogs that the irresponsible couple owned. Melissa recalled that Piglet caught her attention because he had the loudest bark among all the other pups at the pair’s house.

Melissa recalled that the puppy was as small as a rat when she first saw him. Melissa shared that the pup also had the loudest scream despite being the smallest dog among the other dogs.
Melissa decided to take the tiny puppy in as a foster and named him Piglet. Melissa shared that she started calling him Piglet because he looked like a baby pig and resembled Piglet from the Winnie the Pooh cartoon show.
Melissa shared that she has six dogs at home, and she planned on helping Piglet get better until he is ready to be put up for adoption. Melissa admitted that she thought the 1-pound pup would not cause too much trouble, but she was proven wrong.
Melissa recalled telling her husband that they will foster Piglet until he is well enough to be adopted. Melissa shared that Piglet was not easy to deal with when they first got home together because Piglet had so much energy and wanted to destroy things for fun.
Melissa shared that Piglet also had horrible anxiety and only trusted one of her dogs named Susie. Melissa said that Piglet does not let anyone in his doggy bed, but he allows Susie to stay there to play.
Melissa shared that Piglet also loves playing rough with all her other dogs. Melissa ended up adopting Piglet because of how perfect Piglet was for her family.
