Meet Pickles! He is the sweetest pig who greets you when you come to see him, and he grunts and screeches when brought yummy treats. He's a funny pig and loves to play with his family. He is good with children, who were 16, 14 and 12 when they got him about 6 years ago. He also grew up around dogs. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) Pickles is crate trained and used to live indoors, but he seemed depressed and the family moved him fully outside. He's a super happy guy now!
Transportation is not available, so the adopter will need to make arrangements. Transportation is available within X miles to the new home.
Pickles 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/
