How to Get a Pot Belly Pig For Free

The question that I have heard many people ask is where can I find Pot belly pigs for sale and the simple answer is where do you live. The truth is finding a pot belly pig can be quite a challenge. These types of animals are not as popular as cats and dogs and as a result, finding the right pig can become a quest. The best way to find a pot bellied pig will be to see if there is a farm in your area because pigs are actually farm animals. Another option is to contact a local farm bureau and they will be able to let you the different farm locations in your area.

But wait, why buy a pig when there are tons of homeless pigs out there in different shelters, just waiting for some one to come and become there owner. So many people give their pigs to the animal shelters every year because they can no longer take care of it. If you want a pet and you are considering getting a pot bellied pig or any other type of pig, why not consider checking to see if there is one at a local animal shelter. Not only will you be helping that animal shelter, you will also in a way be rescuing that poor animal and you will also be able to keep your money because the pig from the shelter will be free, that's the best part. So, while there might be some pot belly pigs for sale somewhere, you need to also remember that there are other pigs that are not for sale and they need you help; and the best part is that you can get them for free.

But if you do choose to buy a pig anyway, then you need to remember that when buying a Pot belly pig, it is important that you buy it from someone that is reputable. Since not a lot of people know much about pigs, it is possible that you could end up buying a sick pot belly pig and not know it. That is why it is advisable to contact the local farm bureau for reputable breeders in your area.

The World Wide Web also has a host of people who are trying to sell their pot belly pigs. But before searching pot belly pigs for sale, you will need to ask yourself if you are ready for the responsibly that come with owning a pig. A pot belly pig is a precious animal but only if you know how to take care if it. Sadly people had to give up there pig because they realize that they know little to nothing about there pig when they bought it. My point is that owning a great pet is one thing but knowing how to take care of it is another thing.

Many buy a pot bellied pig because they think it makes a great pet but they don't consider how to take of it, what to feed it, how to maintain the pig's hygiene and so forth.
