My Nonprofit Reviews

I was trying to adopt a pig. I have a huge, beautiful set up. I was willing to drive 4+ hours to get there. I just wanted to rescue a female, any age, didn’t matter. I didn’t want to adopt from a pet store.

There are no GP rescues in my area so I thought I would try here. They informed me you must foster-to-adopt and they wouldn’t let me adopt unless I lived in a 100 mile radius.

They’re more strict than cat and dog rescues. They wouldn’t even consider it. I would’ve provided a background check, housing info, and pictures.

They just brought in more pigs from 8+ hours away, but they wan’t let me adopt one pig when I live less than 4 hours away.

I’d just like to know why, and not just “it’s policy”. I’d also like to know why it’s more important to adopt them out close by than to find them loving homes. I don’t understand.
