Adoption vs. Sponsorship Adopting a pig frees badly-needed space at our sanctuaries for other pigs awaiting rescue, but giving your new pig the "forever home" it needs is a big responsibility that not everyone can undertake. If sharing your household with a pig is not possible for you, consider sponsoring one of the pigs at the VAPP sanctuaries. It's the next best thing to having a pig of your own! |
Read This BEFORE You Get a Pig
VAPP Adoption Application (MS Word) "We adopted Chloe several months ago, and she has turned us into pig fans (even my husband who might not have any animals were it not for me). She is 2-3 years old, about 100 pounds, and had been a city house pig until given up for adoption. When we first considered getting a pig I think we all envisioned an adorable, tiny piglet. After careful consideration and good advice we decided a feisty, self-confidant grown pig would better suit our family. Chloe is affectionate and playful, but patient and gentle with my children. She is particularly attached to my daughter, Lucy, and gives happy snorts when Lucy gets home from school. When we met Chloe it was reassuring that we knew what her temperament and ultimate size were, things that would be difficult to predict in a younger pig. Chloe is a delight and has broken us into the world of pigs very gently." VAPP Home | Contact Us | © 2007 Virginia Alliance for Potbellied Pigs. All rights reserved. |
