Adoption

Don't Squeal (or do)!

All of our pigs are spayed/neutered and vaccinated and we have NO adoption fees!

Why pay money for a miniature pig when you can adopt with all standard medical care current and we take our pigs back if you no longer can keep them (even years later!)

All of our miniature pigs come from NC breeders. If you want to know what a miniature pig from a NC breeder looks like full-grown, come visit us!

We currently have pigs from breeders in Forsyth, Gaston, Brunswick, Onslow, Cumberland, Guilford, Madison, Iredell, and Johnston counties.

Please fill-out an application and email it to pigpalsofnc@yahoo.com

What are some of our requirements for adoption?

We have been rescuing and placing miniature pigs in NC since the late 1990s and have found

the following to work best for miniature pigs

Miniature pigs are considered livestock animals in NC and so you must be zoned to allow livestock . Please check with your zoning/planning department to see if miniature pigs are allowed and get a determination letter.

Pigs are social animals that establish heirarchies within their herds. We will NOT adopt single pigs unless you already have one that you need a companion for. Approximately 90% of pigs living as single pigs become aggressive by the time they reach mature age (i.e. 4 years).

Our pigs require a fenced-area that is tall enough to prevent a dog from jumping over and strong enough at the bottom to prevent the pigs from pushing/rooting out. Chain-link will NOT hold a pig unless it has been buried a minimum of 6" into the ground or has a strand of electrified wire at nose-level. We require a minimum of 50' x 50' fenced-area for adoption.

We require a signed adoption contract that states the pigs must be returned to our organization if they can not be kept for any reason. There are also minimal care requirements that include housing, bedding, and medical needs.
