Timbit - Pig - Pot-Bellied Farm Animal

Shelter: BC SPCA - Surrey Education & Adoption Centre Animal ID: 503243 Birthdate: December 06, 2018 - Juvenile Spayed/Neutered: No Female Timbit and her buddies are looking for a home to call their own! These pigs came into care in July 2021, overweight with overgrown hooves and mites. They have been on a weightloss program and are losing weight and gaining energy every day! Timbit may be the smallest, but she is the brave and curious one of the group and likes to explore. We have slowly been working with the pigs to get them used to being around people, but they will need someone experienced with pigs to give them a home where they can continue to build trust and lose weight. They are up to date on hoof and tusk trims and mite treatments. Timbit currently lives with Mama (ID#503241), Inky (ID#503242) and Charles (ID#503245). Next door to this group lives Greta (ID#532121). Her previous owner rehomed her buddy and she wasn't getting along with the rest of the group. She was quite depressed to have lost her friend, but has since perked up and is learning to trust and love people as well and enjoys treats and clicker training. We are looking to adopt Timbit, Mama, Inky and Charles out together. Greta could be adopted with them as well, but would need to have her own space and then possibly slowly introduced in a big space to the others. If you are interested in giving these pigs a home, please fill out an adoption application at: https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/equine-farm-animal-adoption-application-form/ Please ensure that your municipality allows you to have pigs and that you have appropriate indoor and outdoor space and fencing for pigs. These pigs are very clean and currently live in a stall with outdoor access during the day. They prefer to do their business outside, but overnight they have a "litterbox" area of shavings away from their straw nest where they go when nature calls.
