Pig the Dog may be a deformed dog, but she’s such a sweetheart who’s brought so much joy to so many people. Watch this video from Associated Press to learn a little more about Pig the Dog, and here’s what Pig’s owners wrote on her Facebook page (Pig the Unusual Dog):
“Pig is a happy female mixed-breed dog born with the birth defect “short spine syndrome” — but she is living life to the fullest! She lives in Alabama.”
Pig’s owners recently set up the Facebook page for Pig because they started a foundation to help those who rescue dogs. Here’s what the mission of Pig’s Foundation is:
Pig’s Foundation is intended to help raise funds for individuals who rescue as well as established rescues. Some individuals need a little more help while fostering homeless animals that a rescue simply cannot afford. Pig’s Foundation believes that if we can help develop and educate good fosters, more homeless animals can stay off the streets and out of shelters.
Also, so many rescues want to do more than they can afford to do, either due to lack of funds or lack of fosters. Sometimes, rescues must just say “no” to animals that need more medical attention than the rescue can afford, and Pig’s Foundation wants to help change that.
“Overall, we want to raise awareness that just because an animal may look a bit unusual doesn’t mean that animal should not have a happy life.”
Please share and bring Pig the Dog’s joy and mission to your friends and family!
