What Should I Look for in a Good Breeder or Rescue?

Sabrina is from the Bay area in California and has 3 pigs Leonard, Lola, Louie. Each one of her pigs play a special role in her family. Her animals are her motivators to be a better and understanding person. They also help teach her how to be more patient with herself and with others. She feels like she needs them more than they need her. 

 

In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast Sabrina explains:

  • What made her an animal lover early on in her life.
  • She tells us what a big reason was for choosing a pet pig for herself specifically.
  • She explains a difficult situation she experienced with advice a breeder gave her about her second pig and how she handled this situation with the pig community.
  • She tells us about her passion for rescuing pigs. 
  • She tells us her secret to traveling with her pigs.
  • What red flags should we look for when researching breeders?
  • The importance of knowing your state laws regarding pigs.
  • She tells us her favorite thing about owning pigs and her biggest challenges with them.
  • And her number 1 piece of advice for people that are considering getting a pet pig.

 

Key Takeaway: Out of the thousands of pet pig breeders and rescues in the US and Canada, there are a small handful that do it ethically. So make sure when you decide to get a pet pig, that it is from a reputable breeder or rescue. By doing this you will set yourself and your new piglet up for the best possible success. You will also contribute to breeders that love their animals and try to do what’s right, instead of breeders that just care about the money that goes into their wallet and not about the life of the animal.
