We took a call from a man who was looking for someone to take in his potbelly. He said she was bought by a friend awhile ago, and the friend changed his mind about her. The guy planned to put her online, and the gentleman calling us stepped in to help. He didn’t want her to get killed, so he had been trying to care for her the best he could. He said she was just too much to manage, and he needed help.
We started giving him additional resources to find a home for an owner surrender of a pet pig, but then he said one thing that seemed odd. He said she was red. We don’t see many red potbellies, so we asked him a few more questions for clarity. He said she was just 13 months old and weighed 250 pounds. He sent pictures and we immediately knew she was no potbelly–she was a farmed pig. These are the pigs we exist for!
Suzie-Q is safely in quarantine and is enjoying her new personal swamp. Once she gets the Sanctuary Babe Special, including the imperative spay, she will move to GenPop to meet her new pig friends.
