In reply to Ronda.

Hey Ronda! Pigs, like all animals, do enjoy having friends. We did previously have a solo pig who made friends with a cat, and they can make friends with other animals. They should never be left alone with dogs, for safety reasons, but can get along well with them. Our pigs live outdoors 24/7. They do have a very nice indoor barn stall that we close them in when it is cold, but there is no heat source for them and they do well. Pigs LOVE rooting, so they will root up some. The amount they root up varies across individuals.

We suggest checking the Pig Placement Network to rescue pigs. There is also a Facebook group called Preloved Pigs you can check out.

Good luck!

Im interested in rescuing a pig but he must stay outdoors. We have a 20 acre fenced pasture for it with cows. Do they need companionship and can they stay outdoors during the winter ( I do have a large shed for shelter) ALso do they root up the ground?

I have a 5 month old male potbelly that I rescued a month ago, I didn’t know that he was not fixed, I can’t afford the 250, do you know if any places that may give vouchers for this?

We are so sorry to hear that you need to rehome your pig. We do not have any room at our farm for additional pigs at this time.

You may have success with using the Pig Placement Network to find him a home: http://www.pigplacementnetwork.org/

I hope you can help me or at least point me in the right direction. I have a one year old mini pig that I need to re-home. His name is Remy and he is such a sweet boy. He belonged to my daughter who can no longer care for him now that she is back in school and he has proven to be to much for me to handle. I don’t want him to just go to anyone, I need to know that he will be loved and we’ll cared for. Can you help me?
