Meet Professor Nox

Professor Nox is an appx 1 year old male pot bellied pig. He came to us back in the fall and is just now ready for adoption. He came into the program because he had gotten loose from a "petting zoo" that was set up at a fall festival in a busy commercial area. They did not bother to try and catch him, one of the businessmen in the building is a foster dad for us and reached out when they could not catch him. Fortunately animal control was able to assist. They contacted the "petting zoo" and they never came to get him, so he was surrendered to us. He was unsocialized and not neutered. Terrified of people. Why in the world he was being used at a petting zoo is beyond me. Please please please if you are ever considering hiring out something like this, either really do your research OR even better, reach out to a rescue and see if they would be willing to come with some of their farm animals. Then they can also educate, bring awareness, and you can make a donation that is tax deductible and helps save lives.
HOWEVER.....that part of his life is over and it has taken a long time, but his foster mom knows her pigs and she says he is ready to make his next steps with his new family. He must have another social pig at his new home. He currently weighs about 30 lbs and is now appx 1 year old and has been neutered. He will continue to grow, so please do not think he won't!!! He will grow for up to five years. He has always been an outdoor pig and has no desire to live in your house. He likes to do pig things with his pig friends like root around and wallow in mud puddles. He is looking for an adopter with pig experience who has another friendly and gentle pig who would enjoy his companionship.
