Tilly, Truffles, and Pig Pig are three individual pigs in need of new homes due to an upcoming move and financial reasons. They are all in separate pastures right now, so none of them are bonded and they can be placed separately. In addition, some neighbors won't stop feeding the pigs junk food while the family isn't home, and Tilly is overweight. A new home where Tilly's diet can be monitored more easily is needed. Pig Pig should go to an experienced pig home due to behavior issues.
Tilly and Truffles are the parents of Pig Pig, who was the only survivor out of an accidental litter in 2023 before Truffles was neutered. (Pig Pig is also neutered.) They all live outside in their own pens. None of the group have issues with the cats and dogs on the property, but the pigs do have their own fenced areas. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.)
Tilly: She is sweet, but timid. She likes your company and be to be around you, but she isn't a fan of being handled. She likes to decorate her house with sticks and things that she finds.
Truffles: He is skittish, but friendly. He likes to hang out with you when you go in his fence, but doesn't want to be pet. He is sweet natured.
Pig Pig: He was the bottle baby that defied the odds and adored snuggles and love. He was always super sweet, up until about a year of age. His family suspects some type of genetic or neurological issue, as he tried to bite the teenage daughter and since then he is either asking for belly rubs or trying to snap at you. He has never been mistreated and the family doesn't know what might have brought about this sudden behavior change. They'd love if a pig-savvy adopter or rescue could take him in and work with his behavior.
Transportation is not available, so the adopter will need to make arrangements.
Both Truffles and Pig Pig are neutered males, but Tilly is not altered so arrangements must be made to spay her once she's dieted down to an appropriate weight. Intact pigs do not make the best companion animals. Spaying prevents unwanted litters, curbs behavior problems, and prevents uterine tumors.
