Adoptions

At Better Piggies Rescue, our goal is always what’s best for the pigs. While many of our residents will live out their lives at the sanctuary, some are looking for forever families who can provide safe, loving homes.

 

Pigs are intelligent, social animals who bond deeply with their people. Adopting a pig means committing to a friend who can live 15–20 years, needs plenty of space, companionship, and care, and deserves to be treated as family—not a novelty.

When you adopt from us, you’re not just bringing home a pet—you’re giving a rescued pig a second chance at a joyful life. We’ll be here every step of the way to support you and your pig through their new chapter.

​

Please note that all adoptions are at our discretion.  We reserve the right to decline or deny adoption to anyone for any reason. Adopters must understand that these are social/herd animals. We do not separate bonded pairs.

 

To ensure the best outcome for both pigs and families, adopters must:

• Provide secure, pig-safe fencing and adequate outdoor space for rooting, wallowing, and exercise.

• Commit to proper shelter that protects from Arizona heat, rain, and cold.

• Demonstrate access to fresh water, quality feed, and routine veterinary care (including hoof and tusk maintenance).

• Understand pigs are herd animals—adoptions are typically approved for pairs or into homes with other pigs.

• Agree that pigs will never be rehomed, sold, or used for breeding or meat.

• Complete a home check and adoption agreement with our team.

• If the home has a dog, the adopter must agree to keep the pig(s) and dog(s) separated at all times unless supervised.

• The adopter must be allowed to have a pig at their residence. We may require proof for any or all jurisdictions prior to finalizing adoption (including, but not limited to: City, County, HOA, Property Owner, Parent or Guardian)

• Adoption Fees vary and are due at or before time of adoption. ​
