Pot Belly pigs are the "throw away" pets of the 90's. Pot bellies, in fact, pigs in general, are very intelligent
and loving creatures. There is a nice article on pigs on the In The News Page explaining more about pot belly pigs. And
book recommendation on our adoption application page. Become educated on these intelligent creatures.
Females are Sows, Males are Boars. Pigs are very clean animals. They do not like dirty sleeping quarters.
They only wallow in the mud because pigs cannot sweat. Pigs can be housebroken. And pig owners swear they are smarter than
most dogs. They make good pets if taken care of properly. And don't need much food. But we know watermelon and pumpkins
are a favorite treat.
Some of our available pigs are shown below. But of course we have MANY. The adoption fee for ADULT PBP is 35.00. The piglet
adoption fee will vary according to our Vet expenses. Adoption fees do not include transportation.

3/6/10 Meet Hamlet, a male
pot belly pig, approx. 6 to 7 months old. Hamlet is sweet and loving but not yet ready to be adopted. He has mange and is
un-neutered. Hamlet is currently in foster care while he recoups. Then he will be ready. Check back here for updates.
4/3/10 from Foster Mom; Hamlet is aprx 8months old. He
has been neutered and as soon he will be up to date on shots. He is a very nice boy, does well with other
animals as long as they are not jumping in his face. He is doing very well at becoming house broken and crate trained.
He loves the outdoors and really enjoys basking in the sunlight. I have been working with him with the leash and we
are getting better. He rides very well in the car and seems to be very friendly with people. Great Guy Needs Great
Home!

Maggie & Floyd arrived 3/25/06 Neutered &
Microchipped Pot Belly Pigs, owner surrender from same home so it would be nice if they could be adopted together. But not
manditory. Update on Floyd Nov 2007-
Floyd - still doesn't know he is a pig... ever since he has been with us, he stays off to
himself. (he followed me down the isle at our wedding) He has chosen the horse barn to sleep in, in a corner alone,
under a very big pile of hay and straw.. Comes when he is called, and LOVES belly rubs. Greets folks when they enter
the barn (unless it is cold out, then you can find him under his warm pile of hay and straw) Abigail
was adopted in Jan. 2009, however the financial issues sent Abigail back to HH for adoption..
Maggie is  by Jennifer Nail.

Pig Pig - by Nancy Schaub. PigPig is an older wrinkled gal with a loving heart.
------------
Arlo-Arlo is very friendly and was adopted out but he became a
bit nippy with the children so he came back to HH 7/05. He would probably do best with another pig companion
or a single pig with no small children.

FAITH lg white pig arrived 5/12/04
owner surrender as she was eating flowers out of their garden.
MAGIC-neutered male that someone just abandoned at the farm one
day. Hence his name Magic because he just popped up out of nowhere!
Piggly Wiggly-is several years old and neutered by HHRF vet. He
was found in South Carolina roaming the parking lot of a large grocery store - a chain known as Piggly Wiggly (no joke!).
He was quite thin and missing his right ear. He arrived at HHRF on 10/17/04. He
is about 70 to 80 lbs. He is not overly friendly to people so he would probably do best as an outdoor pig with other
pig companions.
