Winston is a neutered outside piggy who is a bit of a grumpy guy. He's crate trained, knows "sit", and travels well. He enjoys rooting and eating. He does not do well with people or other animals. He charges adults as well as charging and biting at the dogs, so a child-free, dog-free, and pig-savvy home is needed. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) He needs someone who understands pig behavior and is able to stand up to him to ensure he understands who is "top hog" in the home (hint: it should be you, not him!). PPN's president would be more than happy to work with the adopter on the behavior issues Winston has.
His mom says "Winston does not like anyone in my home including my dogs. My big dog is afraid of him because he chases him & bites at him & that just causes a fight. Winston charges myself and anyone who comes in yard. He has never been around kids. I got Winston when he was around a year from a girl who didn’t want him anymore."
Transportation is available within 200 miles to the new home.
