What kind of pigs come to The Pig Preserve?
The Pig Preserve accepts pigs of all breedspotbellied pigs, farm pigs, feral pigs and pigs of mixed breeding. At the current time, our small population is almost equally divided between miniature pigs and farm pigs. We are best set up to handle younger/adult, healthy and active pigs. The Preserve environment lends itself to pigs who are mobile and able to enjoy and take advantage of the freedom that The Preserve offers. However, we have accepted several older, compromised pigsincluding a farm pig who is mentally retarded, several blind pigs and several mobility impaired pigs. We have established a small special care facility for them in a separate pasture so that their care can be accomplished more readily and their condition can be monitored as closely as needed. These pigs are, understandably, unable to live with the other Preserve pigs and require more traditional, one-on-one care, special diets, regular medication, etc. But, it bears repeating, that these are NOT the types of pigs
