ANIMAL ADVOCACY & PIGLET'S RESCUE FUND

Piglet was rescued from a hoarding situation in Georgia when he was a newborn puppy. While Piglet was fortunate to have found a devoted loving family, there are many dogs like him still looking for their forever homes. Through our social media pages, Piglet has become an ambassador for disabled rescued animals.

Alongside our advocacy efforts, Piglet's Rescue Fund was set up to:

  • Educate about and advocate for rescued animals through our social media pages, Piglet Mindset® educational program, as well as webinars on a number of veterinary topics
     
  • Encourage spay and neuter of dogs and cats in light of the pet overpopulation problem
     
  • Motivate individuals to adopt rescued pets, especially those who are disabled
     
  • Provide funding to rescue organizations that focus on disabled dogs and other animals
     
  • The fund is supported by direct donations as well as a portion of all Piglet merchandise sales.

And they'll feel really happy when they wear their Piglet Mindset shirt bc wearing a shirt with Piglet's picture on it is an amazing happy producing experience. For adults too! 
We have sold thousands of Piglet shirts but very few in children's sizes, which is pretty surprising considering how much kids love Piggy.

This is a really good way to support our Piglet Mindset program and our social media accounts. You can make a donation to our nonprofit when you purchase a shirt as well. 
Shirt sales are down as the algorithm doesn't share our social media posts anymore. So please like and share even all of our posts, even those for our t-shirts!

Happy Anniversary to Piglet's Favorite Dad and me. Happy Anniversary to Piglet's Favorite Dad and me. 
Who knew, 32 years later, we'd be posting this Block Island biking picture on Piglet's IG page! I knew we would have dogs, but Piglet was the last type of dog I ever could have dreamed of. And certainly, back then, no one was talking about having a growth mindset, let alone a Piglet Mindset. 
We have three amazing kids who are now compassionate, caring adults!
And currently we've got quite the dog pack, with a precious new addition in Jorgito! 
If you're inclined, in honor of our anniversary, we'd appreciate it if you'd grab a Piglet book, (bookstores and online, QR code in our website), the memoir and or kids book, and read them, gift them to a teacher, or donate to a library in your community. 
Keep an eye on our stories bc I'll be posting some fun anniversary pics during the day!

Piggy's got the feed me button down. He can even p Piggy's got the feed me button down. He can even pick it out among other buttons on his new button board (thank you to @hunger4words). 
Now it would be really nice if he felt the need and desire to ask to play and go outside. No doubt he already knows what those other buttons are for. He's just relying on his long time patterns of communication rather than agreeing to new ones!

Goodnight from the original pink man himself, now Goodnight from the original pink man himself, now choosing to go Nakey- without a shirt on! His choice, and he has made it very clear. Piglet is a truly unusual little dog. I just started him on talking buttons, that of course he can't hear. But the point is to give him a way to communicate his thoughts, needs, and desires in a civil thoughtful way. 
The buttons will take a while as the only one he's currently interested in using is the feed-me one. 
But in the meantime, Piglet is quite effective at letting me know what he wants-ie- that he is going shirtless. 
Here is is snuggled in Gina's dog crate which seems to be a very suitable napping  spot for the moment.

Like big bro Piggy, Georgie reserves his most enthusiastic greeting for his extra special people. 
This baby boy dog is just the sweetest isn't he? I hope you'll share his adorableness with your friends who need something to smile about today!!
