Sammie is very smart, he loves to explore, and enjoys playing in water. Unfortunately, he is an escape artist who loves to explore the neighborhood and always finds a way to leave the yard. Once neutered, this roaming behavior may stop, but a secure pen or yard is needed to ensure he remains safe at his new home. PPN recommends hog panel & t-posts.
Sammie is a wonderful boy who gets along well with kids and has been around 5-year-olds. He also does well with the two dogs in the home. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) Sammie knows how to sit on command and is crate trained. He's a playful guy.
Transportation is available within 70 miles to the new home.
Sammie 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.
Donations to PPN are greatly appreciated so we can continue to help pigs.
