Meet Piglet, one of the "Little Piggy" puppies , born to mama Dorris! Piglet is a male beagle/hound mix, expected to grow to a medium sized dog.
Mama Dorris was picked up as a stray by animal control in east TN when she was very heavily pregnant - poor Dorris looked like she was about to pop! Paws Rescue League took her into rescue and placed her into a loving foster home, where she went into labor and began giving birth during the evening hours of 9/29. Dorris was able to deliver the first 3 babies on her own, but baby #4 got stuck, so her experienced foster mom loaded her up to the vet for a C section. The vet was able to pull out baby #4, however it was stillborn The final 3 babies were delivered via C section (mama was also spayed following the C section). One other baby did not make it, but the surviving 5 pups (the "Little Piggie" litter) have grown into chubby, healthy puppies who are almost ready for their furever homes!
Piglet is a typical happy, playful puppy who loves everyone! He is good with dogs, cats, people, and kids. Young puppies are like blank slates who, when properly trained/socialized, will grow into wonderful dogs.
From Piglet's current foster:
"Piglet Little body, huge heart. Piglet is always looking to put a smile on your face and give so many kisses. His big, brown eyes match his big heart. He loves to fall asleep in your lap but does great putting himself to bed when he’s played too hard. Piglet is amazing with other dogs, cats and kids, constantly looking for the opportunity to play. He loves to play with any toys, but he specifically loves ones that squeak and roll. Piglet also loves bones for some independent play. Don’t be fooled by his size, this little guy has a big appetite! He is very eager to learn. He is crate trained and is doing amazing with potty training. Piglet is always up for an adventure and he can’t wait to find his forever home and learn so much more with his new family!"

Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs. We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted. As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding!
