Volunteer Opportunities
- School Visit Sponsorship - Some school visits are covered by school arts and enrichment budgets. But some school systems don't have funding for Piglet Mindset types of programs. Ironically, those are the schools that tend to need Piglet Mindset the most. So donations to cover the costs of these visits is crucial to our program.
- Fundraising - We are happy to collaborate on fundraising events that will benefit our program as well as others that share our message of kindness.
- Grant Proposals and Corporate Sponsors - We are always looking for new sources of funding.
- Promote Our Program - Share Piglet with friends, family, teachers, and school administrators.
- Educational Advisors - As our Piglet Mindset educational program expands to reach more students and teachers, we will continue to build our meaningful message and increase access to all who are interested. We are planning on building our nonprofit board to include educators, disabilities advocates, and others who can contribute to our organization's growth.

Support for Dog Rescue Organizations
Piglet is a rescued dog who is profoundly disabled. He was pulled from a hoarding situation by Dr. Gloria Andrews, veterinarian and founder of Colbert Veterinary Rescue Services. While Piglet was fortunate to have found a devoted caring family, there are many dogs like him who are still looking for their forever home.
A big part of Piglet's mission is to support dog rescue organizations that focus on dogs with disabilities and special needs. A portion of Piglet merchandise fundraising benefits a number of rescue groups across the USA. We also consult with rescue groups and individuals who have questions about caring for deaf blind dogs.
Collaboration with Organizations that Support People with Disabilities
Piglet and his pack of 6 rescued dogs are an authentic example of acceptance, inclusion, empathy, and kindness.
We are available to collaborate with organizations that share our interests in education, fundraising, and outreach.
