This questionnaire is not designed to exclude anyone from owning a pot bellied pig, but rather to ensure that potential owners have the knowledge and skills necessary to keep a pot bellied pig responsibly.  Our role as an animal welfare institution is to make sure our piggies are adopted into good homes.

If you have another pot bellied pig, you must take the extra effort required to match the personality of your resident animal with the personality of the pig you are wishing to adopt.   This compatible match takes time and research – one size does not fit all; pigs have very individual needs and personalities.

Pigs WILL FIGHT each other to determine who is going to be 'top hog'.  There is nothing you can do to stop this behavior - it has to happen before they can become friends.
