Meet Pumba! This big guy is a full time house pig. He is housebroken and currently using pee pads since he's too big for his old litterbox. He has been refusing to go outside for the last year or so, and with the lack of exercise and a bit too much food, he's started gaining too much weight. He'll need to go on a diet. He sleeps a lot, and when he's up, he's very vocal. His family just doesn't feel like it's a great situation for him and would like to find somewhere for him to be able to have outside time and get more exercise.
He dislikes most people unless he knows them well. He has never bit anyone, but he will head butt people he likes. Pumba does fine with cats, but most dogs scare him. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) His family is not able to transport him to his new home, so the adopters will need to make arrangements.
