Penelope is a gorgeous lady in need of a new home. She is very friendly and will do obstacle courses with a 4-H group. She will do obedience and some tricks: she knows sit, comes to her name, and will get up on a bridge or go through cones. She's a character and will follow you wherever you go. She likes to be around people and she lives in her stall with her five lavender Orpington chickens. Penelope is good with cats, chickens, and all other forms of barnyard livestock she's met. She has been over the fence from dogs and is used to them barking, but is a bit afraid of them. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.)
Transportation is not available, so the adopter will need to make arrangements.
Penelope is not altered so arrangements must be made to spay prior to adoption. Intact pigs do not make the best companion animals. Spaying prevents unwanted litters, curbs behavior problems, and prevents uterine tumors.
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.
Donations to PPN are greatly appreciated so we can continue to help pigs.
