Important Message From The Cotton Branch Team

Are you contacting us about a farm animal in need or are you trying to rehome your pig/farm animal companion?

Due to reaching our full capacity, we are currently unable to accept any new farm animals, including cows, donkeys, horses, mules, goats, sheep, farm pigs, pot belly pigs, chickens, and ducks. As a donation-funded organization, we cannot always accommodate all animals in need of a home. Our focus remains on pigs of all sizes, especially pot belly pigs, so the following information pertains specifically to them.

The rehoming of pot belly pigs has reached a critical level, with 90-97% being abandoned or rehomed within their first two years of life. Given the high number of pigs needing homes, we must prioritize our current residents and cannot accept any owner surrenders at this time. Even our foster homes are at full capacity.

If you are unable to care for your pig companion(s), please first seek help from family and friends. If you cannot find a new home for your pig(s) through these means, consider the following resources for rehoming:

  • For behavioral issues: Visit Mini Pig Info for tips and resources. They also have a Facebook group at We Love Pot Belly Pigs. Common causes of behavioral issues include unspayed/unneutered pigs, single pigs, and untrained or spoiled pigs. Spaying/neutering often resolves these issues, and pigs generally thrive with a companion pig.

  • For moving: Check with your future city, town, or county, as many areas, including major metropolitan ones, allow pot belly or miniature pigs as domesticated pets. Your first resource should be the local animal control center supervisor.

  • For fencing issues: Hog panels with heavy steel T-posts provide a sturdy and affordable solution to secure your pig’s area. These can be found at Tractor Supply and other farm supply stores. Chain link fences also work well. Unaltered pigs are more likely to roam, whereas altered pigs tend to stay within their designated area.

We appreciate your understanding and support during this time.

​Due to the overwhelming amount of e-mails we receive every day for animals in need, we will not be able to respond to the rehoming of animals by e-mail at this time. This is due to staff availability and our constant focus on the residents in our care at Cotton Branch. This is a temporary decision and we hope to expand to take in more animals in the future.
