3/31/26: two unaltered males (Spot & Pinky) & two altered young boys are the last pigs in need of homes here. Three new photos just added.
12/11/25: Two male piglets, a female piglet, and 2 teens are pending. Two neutered male piglets are still in need of homes, along with their momma (needs to be spayed), 2 boars (Pinky & Spot, estimated at 1 or 2 years old, need to be neutered), and 2 neutered "teens" (now estimated to be ~6 months old).
11/5/25: The baby boys were neutered!
10/16/25 Update: A rescue has taken the momma with two babies, and two of the "teen" girls! It's just the momma and her 6 babies and the males now in need of placement! The rescue estimated their ages between 4 months (for the "teens") and 1-2 years (for the oldest boar).
18 pigs and piglets in need of homes! Ten piggies were taken in from a terrible case of neglect last month. Shortly after, two sows gave birth, resulting in 19 pigs. This is simply too much for the foster to handle. We are trying to find placement for all pigs, but they do not need to all go together. They are timid and will need time to warm up, but seem like they'll be lovely friendly piggies once they settle in.
There are two moms, two unaltered adult males, two litters of piglets (8 total newborn babies), and 6 young (but not baby) pigs we're calling the "teens" that were possibly born over the summer. The adult males were separated so there will be no further unwanted pregnancies/litters from them. The ages of the teens are still undetermined, so the foster home is working on separating them now in case they are of breeding age. (10/13/25 Update: Teens have been separated! There are 4 boys & 2 girls.) For the newborn piglets: One litter was born 10/6/25 and is six piglets - they have not been sexed yet (but she thinks there is only one girl). The other litter was born 9/28/25 and consists of two girls. Both litters will need to remain with mom until they're weaned, at around 8 weeks of age.
Special Concerns: Two piglets might be blind or almost blind. The "teen" group appears to be quite mangy, the adults less so. They're being treated.
Transportation may be available (within reason) to the new home.
These pigs are not altered so arrangements must be made to spay and 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.
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.
