Home appeal for overlooked blind dog

The Scottish SPCA is seeking a home for a blind dog in the care of its Angus, Fife and Tayside Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre.

We have been searching for an extra special home for Patterdale terrier-cross, Miss Piggy, but sadly she has had very little interest.

Centre manager, Claire Faddel, said, “Miss Piggy is a super lovely, affectionate dog who loves nothing more than to sit on your lap and get lots of cuddles!

“She loves human company and we are hoping to find her an owner who is home most of the time, as she can get distressed when left alone. She can also be quite vocal when she wants to be.

“Although she is blind, Miss Piggy is a special girl who is extremely confident when out and about…you would barely know she is blind with how confident she is!

“Because of her blindness. she is however a bit wary of other dogs approaching her and can occasionally react to other dogs on her walks. She walks very well on her lead and will need to be kept on it when she is out and about.

“Miss Piggy will be best suited to a home with no young children, and needs to be the only pet in the house so she can have all the love and attention she deserves!

“A home with a fully fenced, uncluttered garden would be ideal for her to enjoy off-lead exercise.

“She needs a home with either no stairs or a new owner who will make necessary provisions to keep her safe, for example using a baby gate, until she has learned the layout of the house. 

“We are looking for an owner who has owned terriers previously and understands their quirks!

“We’d love to find the perfect home for Miss Piggy. She is a wonderful dog who would make an amazing companion in the right home.
