Do You Feel You Need to Surrender Your Potbelly PigPet? Read On...
Are you considering surrendering your potbelly pig? If so, please read this first: "The Cost of PIg Rescue". If you feel you have no other choice, we require your pig be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and wormed, or a donation of $100 to help us offset the cost of rescuing and placing your pig. They also need to be tame as it is already hard emotionally for any pig to lose it's home so an unsocial pig becomes an unplacable pig.
Potbelly Pigs are said to be one of the most intelligent of all creatures, right behind humans, monkeys, dolphins and whales! Sometimes misunderstood, owners feel they need to find them new homes and aren't willing to understand their needs.
Through education, most owners and their pigpets live a very long, happy life together and that is the best we can ask for! If you need any help or have any questions about your pig, please complete our Contact Form and a volunteer will get back to you right away!

Peyton and Maggie have been successfully transported to their new forever home at Pig-a-Sus Homestead Sanctuary in Mack, CO and are settling in just fine! More Thoinks to Best Friends, in Kanab, Utah, has also stepped up to help us in transporting the two girls to their new home! See our full story attached...May 2009, what a wonderful ending! Click here to see our update on Peyton, Maggie and Toias attached!
Please spay/neuter your pig pet! Always keep in mind that an unfixed pig does NOT make a good pig pet and you never know if you may have to give them up one day, don't make it the shelter's problem!

After 9 months with us, Bonnie & Clyde were finally adopted out together as a bonded pair. Most people just want one pig but pigs do so much better as a "herd", even a small herd! If you can adopt more than one pig, please consider adopting a pair of pigs, they do so much better in the long run!

The note said, My name is Charley, I'm a "Teacup Pig" and he could not go with us... Left on the doorstep of a PetSmart, in the freezing cold, in a metal crate, he was small and starved. The nice employees took him in, found a family to take care of him but with 7 dogs that wanted at this little guy (please always supervise your dogs with pigs... predators/prey, not always a good combo!) So we were called in and with 70 requests for him because he was a "teacup pig", we had a dilema! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A TEACUP PIG PEOPLE! www.teacuppig.info, please do your research! The only way you can keep a pig (or any animal, even a human) small is to STARVE THEM! Don't ever get a pig for it's small size please because this is where they end up! But, after many applications and home checks, we finally found the right fit! All the way in Mojave Valley, AZ, so off we drove and now Charley is a "normal" sized miniature (not teacup) potbelly pig! *********************************************************************************
On October 1st, we drove Alabama 800 miles (one way) to her new home in Byers, CO and was happy as a pig in a blanket there! She went through 6 homes before she got to us but was still so sweet we knew there was a special family out there for her! She was vetted, vaccinated, spayed and wormed and we finallly got her cleared to make the long day and a half journey to Byers! She is now happy with her new best friend, Banjo, and gets to sleep in the house which was a requirement! Good luck Bammie, you're a special pig and we all knew it! We just had to find that special family!
