Pig was taken in by a neighbor after her owner moved and wasn't able to take her. The owner said they'd build a pen and help provide for her, but he stopped after a few weeks. This poor girl has been living in a makeshift tiny pen with no real shelter. Not much of her background is known, but she appears to do just fine around children.
The neighbor says this: She is friendly. My 4 year old can sit on the edge of the pen and pet her just fine. She does like to be scratched and pet. She really likes scratches behind the ears. She's not aggressive when I feed her, and allows petting while eating.
Transportation is not available, so the adopter will need to make arrangements.
This pig is not altered so arrangements must be made to spay prior to adoption. Intact pigs do not make the best companion animals. Spaying prevents unwanted litters, curbs behavior problems, and prevents uterine tumors.
If you are interested in adopting, please complete the application and mention the name, city, and state of the pig(s) you're interested in: https://www.pigplacementnetwork.org/online-adoption-application/
Qualified homes must 1) be in a zone friendly community, 2) locate a vet that will care for pet pigs, 3) own their home.
Donations to PPN are greatly appreciated so we can continue to help pigs.
