MJ, short for Michael Jackson, has the cutest white area on his one foot - kind of looks a little like a single white glove on his front hoof, no? He's currently an outdoor piggy, but could be either outdoor (preferably with a buddy if outdoor) or indoor for a family willing to work with him on training. Due to his young age, he'd likely adapt very quickly! MJ is good with kids of all ages (even babies) and small dogs. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) However, since he's not yet neutered, he's extra rambunctious and care should be taken. He is very playful and can be mouthy and jump up. This will likely calm down quite a bit once his hormones are in check. MJ loves loves LOVES attention and isn't a fan of being alone. He does well playing with toys when his people aren't around him & that helps keep him busy.
Transportation is available within 20 miles to the new home.
MJ is not altered so arrangements must be made to neuter prior to adoption. Intact pigs do not make the best companion animals. 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.
