A pair of pigs were abandoned when a neighbor moved. Unfortunately, it was an unaltered male-female pair after the female gave birth in April. Carlito, Ashes, & Fred are the piglets from the first litter. The mother (Petunia) has since had another litter, of which only two survived. The family is willing to keep (and alter!) the father (Wilbur) and one piglet, but need to place all others. Carlito & Fred are males and Ashes is a female. 1/5/23 Update: Ashes is pregnant.
They all do well with other animals. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) They like to rub up on people that they like.
Transportation is available within 100 miles to the new home.
These pigs are not altered so arrangements must be made to spay 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.
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.
