Did you know an unspayed female pig goes into heat
every 21 days?  No pig makes a good pet if not spayed/neutered!
Please Click Here to watch a short video on an unneutered male. 
He is not even 6 months yet, dumped off at a shelter just because of this non-stop aggression and hormonal behavior! If you fix your piglet at 8 weeks old, you will never have this problem!  They not only make a better pet, it will be almost half the price!  We can eliminate so many unwanted pigs if owners will just fix their pigs when they are piglets!

We have reached across the Pacific Ocean in the hopes of educating all people on the pros and cons of potbelly pig ownership! 
Please see our blog in the Honolulu Advertiser!

Did you know a Potbelly Pig has the intelligence of a 3 year old?

Education is of the utmost importance before you get in over your head...
Are you prepared to care for a pig for the next 20 years?  
Please click here for the Common Questions people have when getting a pet pig.

The most important question to ask before you get a pig...

Is your home ZONED to keep a pigpet?

(Also, check with your HOA as most DO NOT allow any Pig as a Pet!)

Because of various circumstances, these Las Vegas owners are unable to keep their  pig.  Before you buy a baby piglet, consider adopting a pigpet.  There are so many great reasons to adopt!  At the top of the list is that you can give a pig a second chance at a forever home.  Vegaspigpets' mission is to place each pig with a suitable owner that will love and care for them as much as they give in return! And yes, they can live about 20 years, so please also consider the time commitment!   

How many animals were euthanized last year where you live?

GOT A SPOT FOR A POT?
Tank, originally named Tank the Terror, was turned into a Vegas Shelter about a month ago, aggressive and definitely NOT NEUTERED!   We neutered him and worked with him, harness & leash trained him, and one month later, he is the sweetest little guy!  At 8 months old now and 45 lbs, he is ready for a home that will give him all their attention as he wants to be in the middle of everything but won't give into his demands until he can find his piggy routine!!!  This guy really deserves a new second chance!  Can you give him that home?
(Please see our "Digs Needed" Page for more pigs and piglets needing homes!)
