Piglet Abandoned in Framingham, Seeks New Home

A piglet abandoned by its owner in Framingham, Massachusetts is in need of a new home. The piglet was discovered by a good Samaritan who alerted animal control, but the local police department noted that they lack the facilities to care for livestock. Consequently, the piglet will be transferred to the Animal Rescue League of Boston in Dedham, where it will be evaluated by veterinarians before being put up for adoption. Experts have noted a rise in popularity for pet pigs, often leading to challenges for owners who find them difficult to care for long-term. Although the timeline for the piglet's availability for adoption is unclear, the community is encouraged to consider adopting this unique pet. The situation underscores the importance of responsible pet ownership and the challenges that come with non-traditional pets.
