Super Senior Susie aka Miss Piggy - West Highland White Terrier Westie and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Stamford, Connecticut

Meet our Super Senior Susie aka Miss Piggy!

Susie is a special girl- she is 15yo and 17lbs and she is a sweet and friendly old girl. she came to us bc her owner had to go into an assisted living and was unable to take her along.

Susie is house trained, vetted and ready to go!

She is great with other dogs, has a tail wag for everyone she meets and even knowns some commands.

She loves to go for walks and gets going at a good pace- she can be stubborn about not wanting to come in but otherwise she is very accommodating.

She isn't a big barker but will talk to you to get attention or needs to go out.

Here's the reality for Susie...She is entering the final laps of her life.
She has bad breath from her teeth, a small mass on her lip and a lung mass- the lung mass was discovered in August. She is symptomatic and has a very high quality of life but she is 15yo.

We aren't looking for anyone to step in and try to medically save her- we are looking for a soft place for her to land and be kept happy and comfortable until she is not. A place with lots of love, walks and cuddles along with a soft bed and some good soft food to chow on.

She is an easy girl and she deserves to spend whatever time she has as part of a family and when she leaves the world to be loved and cherished as she was with her original owner.

Do you have it in you to welcome her into your life- if you do you will never regret it!
