BENNIE's Story

BENNIE the pig is a sweet boy who loves belly rubs! <br/>Pigs are very social and BENNIE is a social guy with people and some pigs. He was a pig that was picked up by the Jacksonville FL Sheriff's Office after being abandoned as a stray. He was a bit shy and scared at first but after being neutered he has really blossomed and will sit for a treat and loves belly rubs! He gets along with most of the other rescued pigs at the sanctuary, but he really prefers human companionship and will seek you out to be your friend once he trusts you. BENNIE will make a great piggy pal for a hobby farm or micro-sanctuary. Someone who is looking to make a bond with this sweet boy will be hitting the jackpot with a friendly and social guy. He has access to free range all day with other potbelly type pigs, a large Yorkshire pig, horses, and dogs. He will do great on a hobby farm with other farm animals for friends. If you would like to meet BENNIE and talk more about adding him to your farm family please send us a message.<br/><br/>Age: @1-2 years of age<br/>Sex: BENNIE is a neutered male. Both are up to date on vaccines and microchipped

EPIC Outreach's Adoption Policy
EPIC Outreach is committed to helping both pet pigs and people build a long-lasting happy and healthy relationship for the lifetime of the pig. EPIC serves to be a resource of information to help pet pig parents keep their pet pig for its lifetime. Occasionally EPIC will have pet pigs available for adoption. Each pig available will have specific needs and personalities. EPIC works primarily with animal control and government agencies who take in potbelly pigs and/or mixes that are strays, are confiscated from cruelty/hoarding situations, or are abandoned. Often the pigs have unknown histories. Each pig available for adoption will have been vetted and evaluated for health and behavior needs. Each pig’s home expectations will be shared transparently. Before you ADOPT Thank you for doing your research before adopting a pet pig. While pigs are clean and social, they do have emotional and physical needs to be met for a happy and healthy life. Before you ADOPT, please consider the following: A pet pig (potbelly and/or mix) can live 10-20 years and needs to be a lifetime commitment. Where do you live? If you live in a residential home have you checked county ordinances and your HOA. A county ordinance might allow a pet pig, but your HOA might say no. Do you have the time? Pigs love to have their mind stimulated. Without proper mental stimulation they can be destructive. Providing a pet pig with things to do is very important. For more information on how pigs make great pets please read this great article written by Founder Jessie Miller: PIGS MAKE GREAT PETS. Please also read the following about the basic care of a pet pig: LEARNING TO CARE FOR YOUR PET PIG. If you’re still interested in adopting a pet pig and you think you’re a great fit home for one of the available pigs listed below please email Jessie at epicanimals2015@gmail.com. EPIC Outreach’s adoption process is an OPEN CONCEPT and will start with a conversation and then arrange a meet and greet with your potential new pet pig. We look forward to meeting you and talking all things PIGS!
