Some pigs were given as gifts and the overpopulation/unintentional breeding got out of hand very quickly. The family is not able to keep the boys & girls separated, and have been trying to find placement for ages. They were able to get some boys out a while back, but not all of them, so it just keeps increasing. The small group they originally had has now become around 40 pigs, ranging in age from baby piglets to adults. They all desperately need homes.
These pigs are good with all ages, although they will need more socialization since there are just too many to have one-on-one time. They have been good around dogs, cats, and goats. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.)
Transportation is not available, so the adopter will need to make arrangements.
These pigs are not altered so arrangements must be made to spay and/or neuter prior to adoption. Intact pigs do not make the best companion animals. Spaying prevents unwanted litters, curbs behavior problems, and prevents uterine tumors. Neutering prevents behavior issues and eliminates that classic boar odor. Altering piggies when they're young is safer and usually less expensive than waiting until it becomes a problem or a medical emergency.

Qualified homes must 1) be in a zone friendly community, 2) locate a vet that will care for pet pigs, 3) own their home.
