NAPPA is a wonderful organization. I had my first experience with this group in 2007 when I brought home my first baby pot belly pig. They are caring, compassionate, supportive and have an enormous amount of experience, knowledge and contacts regarding pet pigs. They taught me how to properly care for my pet who is still here with me today leading a wonderful, happy existence. They provide financial assistance for spays/neuter, micro grants for supplies and feed, assist with zoning issues, help you find local pig vets and are a wonderful group of caring people.
North American Pet Pig Association has been helping pigs and pig owners for decades. Current projects include establishing a network of veterinarians so every pig owner can access a veterinarian who treats pigs, and establishing mini pigs as household pets. Their in depth newsletter is packed with information.
NAPPA has always been a very helpful and informative organization with all things regarding pet pigs. I am very glad, as the parent/owner of a potbelly pig to have NAPPA as a resource and source of support. They really care about pet pigs.

Raising a pet pig is both rewarding and challenging. I am grateful to be part of an organization that helps provide advice and knowledge to pet pig owners. NAPPA allows me to share my experiences, as a pig parent, with others through a column in NAPPA’s newsletter. They are an advocate for pet pigs and their owners.
I have known of NAPPA since 2018 when we were told of the organization by a close friend. They have been extremely helpful in learning how to care for pigs, maintenance, and how to run a successful rescue. They have so much knowledge and expertise available to help with any situation.
I have known NAPPA since it's beginning. I've watch it grow and become a great organization that works endlessly to help people with their pet pigs. It helps to educate people about the pet pig and what is needed to have and keep them healthy. They could not do it without the help of many caring and loving donors. They work not only to help the owners but also to help with education for veterinarian 's who care for them. One very great organization.

NAPPA is one of the best organizations out there always willing to talk to someone when in need of information on their pigs issue. Very dedicated to their cause and wanting to make sure all pigs are safe.
As a young start up rescue we were limited in our ability to help more pigs because despite having space; we simply didn't have additional fencing or shelters. NAPPA stepped in and did a fundraiser to assist with those needs and ultimately allowed us to double the amount of animals we could safely house at one time! We are forever grateful for their assistance and continued efforts to help pigs in need!
NAPPA goes above and beyond to help pig rescues and pet owners alike. From fundraising for rescues in need to general advice, NAPPA can be called upon when needed.

For more years than I can remember, NAPPA has been waiting in the wings when help was needed with various projects with which I've been involved. Most recently, and ongoing now, is financial help involving the rescue of farm pigs, with NAPPA offering help toward medical and transport expenses incurred in getting them to their new homes. We have been so grateful for their help, as they have really been a cushion in these difficult financial times when other funds are rightfully headed for disaster relief. Thank you, NAPPA, for helping quietly with so many pig related projects. We are grateful.
We’ve had pot belly pigs since 2002. Back then there wasn’t very much information available, but eventually luckily we were able to connect with your original group UPPR.
Since you’ve become NAPPA, you’ve become even more helpful.
We truly appreciate the wealth of knowledge you provide for the online community.
Thank you for ALL you do!
I have only been a member of NAPPA for a few months now after very unexpectedly becoming a pet pig owner earlier this year. I cannot speak highly enough about this organization. The information provided by NAPPA has been a huge help to me in learning how to best care for and train my piggy. Anytime I had a question, or just needed to rant, NAPPA was quick to respond or lend a shoulder and give advice. The grant for spay/neuter was a HUGE help as we are financially strained. Piper Pigglewiggle and I couldn't be happier with our membership and I hope to be an active member for many years to come!
We run a small rescue that mostly is funded by us. We saw NAPPA doing a grant for winter bedding and applied. We got one! We've been following them ever since. They post daily on Facebook and they're always very informative. I enjoy reading every post. Recently, one of our elderly pigs was under the weather and they reached out daily to check on him. It truly meant a lot to us to have an organization such as NAPPA follow our struggles and share their concern. I'm a fan for life!
NAPPA has been helping pigs and educating their owners for years. As the owner of a private sanctuary, Camp Skipping Pig in NY, I was one of the fortunate beneficiaries of a micro grant. Being private, the 60 pigs here are solely supported by my income because I do not solicit donations, and the grant was greatly appreciated. More recently NAPPA assisted with the transport and neuter of needy farm pigs who are very difficult to place due to their size. NAPPA's contribution assured them a happily ever after. Please meet Wilbur, who is making his new home in WI after leaving NY. https://youtu.be/4vlAvmEOD_w
We were fortunate to be a recipient of a grant from this organization for feed. We have a small herd of rescused pot-bellied pigs that are totally dependent on our personal income. We deal with a mom & pop local feed store and the grant was a blessing for both of us.
I am honored to be associated with this organization that for decades, has worshiped the pet pig. NAPPA has evolved into a unique organization that fits a number of niches in the pig world that are in need of expertise. NAPPA's education program is now multi-faceted and wide-reaching, and it recently has begun to offer micro grants to both pet pig guardians as well as sanctuary owners. The move to reach out to support smaller sanctuaries is exciting. I can't wait to see how NAPPA will continue to evolve to meet the needs of pet pig guardians and sanctuaries in these changing times!
Review from Guidestar
The North American Pet Pig Association has been in existence for over 25 years and during those years has come to the aid of pet pigs and their people thousands of times. They have quietly helped a handful of friends of mine and continue to offer assistance on a regular basis. They are a sound and caring group and the pet pig world is a better place because of their efforts.

I have been writing a column for NAPPA's newsletter for years. I enjoy being part of an organization that wants to educate the public on pet pigs.
I have been a friend of NAPPA since 1995. I've watched it change from so much breeding to helping rescued pigs. They saw and recognized the needs of the pet pigs. Our organization has watch as it has gone through some hard times and come out on top because of it values and commitment to helping the pigs. It really is a Great Non-Profit.
