I never met a Miss Piggy who was not cute. They usually could be featured in the book of Maurice Sendak:”Where all the Wild Beasts are”…, are often mouse grey, short legged, sausage shaped, own a face split with a giant smile, sparkling eyes and tiny pointy ears… The perfect description for our actual and adorable Miss Piggy here at the Manhattan Care Center. Miss Piggy is at first a little shy with people and dogs alike. In the street though, she is chill with her peers but is a little wary of confrontation in playgroups. Of course, this could change in time. Nothing is ever etched in stone…She warmed up to me after a while and found her way to my arms and my lap, not forgetting to roll on her back for belly rubs. Miss Piggy loves kisses and hugs as well as treats for which she sits very nicely. A beautiful smile has now appeared . She looks quite happy and is ready for more stuff to do.. Miss Piggy will run in “slow motion” after a tennis ball, play tag and even hide and seek with the bench…She is really a lovely gal who could make a great fun and loving forever best friend. Miss Piggy is waiting for you in our adoption quarters. Make sure to ask for her…She would love to go home with you…
