Meet Elvis Pigsley, an adorable five year-old pot-bellied pig available for adoption at Oinking Acres Farm Rescue & Sanctuary! Elvis was caught as a stray after a couple of months evading his rescuers, but he’s a happy, low-maintenance boy with a laid-back personality. At 90 pounds, Elvis is full-grown and although it takes him a little bit to warm up to people, he’s a very good boy that will need a calm and patient owner and home. This low-key boy is also buddies with a fellow adoptable pigs, Griz and Koda, and it would be great if at least two (if not all three) can find forever homes together. Pot-bellied pigs are similar to dogs in the sense that they can be house-trained, leash-trained and can learn tricks, but they’re also very stubborn and sensitive. The average lifespan of a pot-bellied pig is anywhere from 12 to 20 years and if you put in the time and love with your little oinker, you’ll have the undying love and loyalty of your pig. If you’re interested in giving Elvis his forever home, please fill out an adoption application online. The adoption fee is $150, though if you’re out of state it costs an additional $30 and your pig must have a health certificate (Oinking Acres takes their pigs to Purdue Large Animal Hospital to have this done and receive the document).
