About Miniature
Pigs
Pigs are the 4th most intelligent mammal after humans (primates,
whales/dophins, pigs).
Most dog breeds are natural predators to pigs and will attack,
hurt, kill them.
There have been no new miniature pig breeds introduced in the U.S.
The teacup, micro-mini, and nano pigs are simply new names for the
same 3 breeds introduced to the U.S. over 25 years ago.
Pigs are not full-grown until they are 4 years of age. Currently,
there are no adult miniature pigs in the U.S. that stay a healthy
body weight under 40#.

Pig Pals of NC is an educational organization that also provides sanctuary for miniature pigs in need.
Pig Pals of NC began in 1996 as a social club of pig owners meeting to talk about their pig pals. The need for rescue was quickly recognized and so began the journey to help miniature pigs.
Pig Pals of NC has a 501c3 status with the Internal Revenue Service.
Pig Pals of NC is dedicated to the rescue and adoption of abandoned
miniature pigs along with educating the public about the true
nature of this incredible species.
Within these pages, you will find educational information about
potbellied pigs as pets as well as information about the adoption
process and help with placement.
All of our pigs are
spayed/neutered and we
charge NO adoption fees. We also take back our pigs if you
can no longer care for them. Why purchase from a breeder that won't
have the pig spayed/neutered or take it back years later if you
aren't able to keep it? Contact us today.
We encourage you to
browse our information and use it as a tool in your journey of
learning about potbellied pigs as pets. As of 2011, there have been no new
breeds of miniature pigs introduced into the U.S. that stay under
40# by the time they are full-grown at 4 years of age. Don't get
"duped". Check out our educational
document.
