Wilbur Pot Bellied Pot Bellied Eau Claire, WI

Wilbur is a male Pot Bellied Pig that was brought to the shelter as a stray on 05/14/18. He has not been neutered and does have tusks. If you have not had experience with a pot belly, you will want to research them before adopting. Many people are not aware that they can live from 12 - 18 years and need regular hoof trims throughout their lifetime. Pigs are very intelligent and can be leash trained so that you can take them for walks to exercise them. Wilbur is curious and playful, but also a tad headstrong and sensitive. He would love to have a home that will provide an area of dirt for rooting as this is one of his favorite past times. He loves to dig/explore with his snout and can disrupt the landscape. Wilbur loves to entertain you with his cuteness and will bring you years of joy.

Wilbur is currently enjoying himself in a foster home and this is the latest update from his foster family: Wilbur is doing well. We moved in ten new piglets and he has taken to them quite well. They follow him around and he is like a mother to them. He really enjoys the large pen and mud hole. He seems to really like having other pigs around. Wilbur is more social with us as well. He comes running up to us and really likes it when you rub behind his ears.

We want to alert you that some communities, landlords, management companies, and insurance agencies have size and breed restrictions, limits on number of pets, and/or require pet deposits or additional fees. Before adopting, we encourage all adopters to know what restrictions may apply to you.
