Peggie TX's Story

Meet Peggie - The Pocket-Sized Tripod Queen (Yes, she&#39;s got three legs, one attitude, and endless love to give.)<br/><br/>If you&#39;ve ever wished for a dog who&#39;s equal parts cuddlebug, comedian, and tiny warrior princess, congratulations - your soulmate is here. Peggie is a sweet, lovable little nugget who&#39;s still learning how to navigate the world on three legs and tbh, she&#39;s doing it with more grace than most of us on a Monday.<br/><br/>Three legs, zero limitations (okay, maybe one or two)<br/><br/>Peggie lost a front paw, so she&#39;s figuring out how to balance, jump, and do life in general. She can launch herself into a recliner like an Olympian but exiting? Let&#39;s just say gravity wins. She mostly hops along holding her little stump up like a tiny princess requesting to be carried - which, honestly, is her preferred lifestyle. She tires easily, so she currently rides in a stroller like the diva she is. She didn&#39;t like it at first, but now she&#39;s basically tolerating her chauffeur service.<br/><br/>Foodie in training<br/><br/>Peggie needs to gain weight, so she eats three small meals a day and thinks that&#39;s a pretty sweet deal. Fair warning: she may side-eye or snap at another dog her size if they try to steal her snacks or her human&#39;s attention. She&#39;s learning - but like any girl on a diet, she&#39;s not sharing.<br/><br/>Potty training? She&#39;s 90% there!<br/><br/>Peggie doesn&#39;t ask to go out, so she&#39;ll need someone who sends her out on a schedule. She&#39;s smart and catches on fast - she&#39;s already learning &#34;come,&#34; &#34;pee,&#34; &#34;poop,&#34; and &#34;no,&#34; because yes, she&#39;s that brilliant.<br/><br/>World-class cuddler, lap hog, professional snuggler, Peggie is happiest when:<br/><br/>she is in your lap<br/>she is about to be in your lap<br/>she is thinking about being in your lap<br/><br/>If you sit, she will claim you. If she can&#39;t? She&#39;ll settle for the dog bed next to you but she won&#39;t be happy about it. Also, that new dog bed? She is actively destroying it. It&#39;s her process. Don&#39;t ask questions.<br/><br/>Other dogs &amp; cats<br/><br/>She&#39;s learning to coexist with dogs and is now best friends with Callie, her foster sister. She may snap at dogs over food or lap time - nothing dramatic. Just a &#34;hey, back off, that&#39;s MY person&#34; kind of vibe. Indoor cats are unknown, but she is interested in the barn cats. Probably for their food. Respect.<br/><br/>Stranger danger kinda<br/><br/>Peggie barks ferociously at people entering the house - even people she knows. She sounds like she&#39;s about to file a police report, but there&#39;s zero bite behind that bark. As soon as she decides you&#39;re cool (takes her a few mins), she wants to be held, kissed, snuggled, and adored.<br/><br/>Sleeping arrangements<br/><br/>She sleeps in a crate at night - not her preference, but she tolerates it and curls up in the very back like a little crescent roll.<br/><br/>Peggie Is Looking For A human who:<br/><br/>Is home most of the time<br/>Loves to snuggle<br/>Doesn&#39;t mind being used as a recliner<br/>Can manage a slow walker / stroller rider<br/>Has patience, humor, and a soft heart<br/>Doesn&#39;t mind a tiny dog with a big personality<br/><br/>Peggie may be small, but she&#39;s got a gigantic heart. She&#39;s survived a lot, and she loves hard. She&#39;ll bond intensely with her person, follow you everywhere, adore you endlessly, and make you laugh every single day.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re looking for a dog who is cute, ridiculous, brave, clingy, loving, dramatic, and sweet all rolled into onePeggie is your girl.

Meet Peggie - The Pocket-Sized Tripod Queen (Yes, she's got three legs, one attitude, and endless love to give.)

If you've ever wished for a dog who's equal parts cuddlebug, comedian, and tiny warrior princess, congratulations - your soulmate is here. Peggie is a sweet, lovable little nugget who's still learning how to navigate the world on three legs and tbh, she's doing it with more grace than most of us on a Monday.

Three legs, zero limitations (okay, maybe one or two)

Peggie lost a front paw, so she's figuring out how to balance, jump, and do life in general. She can launch herself into a recliner like an Olympian but exiting? Let's just say gravity wins. She mostly hops along holding her little stump up like a tiny princess requesting to be carried - which, honestly, is her preferred lifestyle.

Foodie in training

Peggie needs to gain weight, so she eats three small meals a day and thinks that's a pretty sweet deal. Fair warning: she may side-eye or snap at another dog her size if they try to steal her snacks or her human's attention. She's learning - but like any girl on a diet, she's not sharing.

Potty training? She's 90% there!
