Pot-Bellied pig in San Diego

Question
Helen,

I was wondering if you had found out anything about the ordinance for pot-bellied pigs in San Diego. Mine is about 80 pounds and about 6 years old (I adopted him from a sanctuary, so no one is certain of his age).

I have tried to call San Diego, but you just get into a mess of menus where you have to know the number specifically associated with your question.

Thanks,

Sue Moran

Answer
Even Experts must sometimes turn to other experts. Becky DiNolfi specializes in zoning. Her website is: www.petpigzone.com
I think she has a zip code data base of places where pigs are, and are not, officially allowed.
I suggest contacting her directly at rdinolfi@juno.com  
Because even if I do talk to her I have no way of contacting you with the information.
The sanctuary where you adopted from may have zoning info. Local places generally know the laws in local communities.
