7/22/24: Still available! Chester is primarily an indoor pig, but he does like his outside sunbathing time as well. He is not destructive in a permanent sense, but he occasionally knocks over his water dish or pushes things around. He will knock over items on a particular shelf they have in the kitchen to let his family know he is ready to go back in his crate in his bedroom. (Perhaps he'd take quickly to bell training on the door knob in the new home?) He LOVES attention and loves to snuggle, but he will nudge you over to get the most space in a chair or on the couch. He does not like the rain, pools, or getting wet, making baths a big challenge. His family believes he needs more attention, and might do well with a pig friend.
Chester has been around the children in the home since their teenage years and has been good with them, but his mom recommends watching him very closely with younger than teen children. He does not do well with other animals & gets jealous. A dog-free home would be best. Chester is housebroken, litter box trained, harness trained, crate trained, and rides well in a car. He will spin for treats!
Transportation is available within 150 miles to the new home.
