Adoption for our Pot Belly

22 9:14:44

Question
We live in San Diego and are looking for a good home for our 6 month old pig.  She is a very good animal she is potty trained and very loveable; however my daughter is going off to school and my husband and are not not able to take care of her.  Can you please let me know if you know of anyone that takes in pigs in the San Diego area.  

Answer
Unfortunately most rescues and sanctuaries are full to the brim with pot-bellied pigs, there's far more pigs than there are good homes.

There's a list of rescues and sanctuaries here

You also might try the Pig Placement Network, a data base of pigs available for adoption and people looking for pet pigs. It's mostly focused on the East Coast, but there may be some adoptive homes near you.
