These little beings are just a smaller, squishier version of our big pigs. Though they have a smaller stature, they still have big personalities. Potbellies are highly sought-after companion animals, as they are intelligent, loving, and silly. Sadly, many people do not realize the commitment it takes in caring for these beings and they often rehome them, if they are lucky enough to find an establishment, such as ours, to take them in. The attention these pigs require is no different than a dog and the bond created can be just as rewarding.
Meet Frank
It’s not every day you see a pig wandering the streets of Detroit, but that’s exactly where Frank found himself—roaming through neighborhoods in a big, unfamiliar city. So how did he end up in such a predicament?
Meet Hamilton
Hamilton is frequently found sleeping with Kilo and Dawkins in the “Bachelor Pad”. He was surrendered by a local resident who could no longer care for him. He’s a sweet boy who loves his life with his pals at SASHA Farm.
Meet Kilo
Kilo was adopted and living in an apartment with a college professor. He had gotten too large to be carried outside, so learned to use a litter box inside. He was very attached to his human. Unfortunately, the professor’s job took him out of the area, and he could not take Kilo with him, so he came to SASHA. It took him a bit of time to get used to his new home, but now he is frequently found sleeping with Dawkins and Hamilton in the “Bachelor Pad” (their very own hut!)
Meet Louie
Louie is quite big, with a large white stripe down his forehead. He is very shy, startles easily, and prefers not to be petted, other than an occasional belly rub. He came to SASHA as a piglet.
Meet Mr Wiggles
We are thrilled to introduce our new animal resident, a four-month-old Juliana pig, Mr. Wiggles!
