NH SPCA Looking for a Home for Two Cheeky Pigs Who are Besties

I have always been infatuated with pigs ever since I read the book "Charlotte's Web" and I took a liking to Wilbur. I started collected pig stuffed animals and always dreamed I would have a pet pig someday.

Unfortunately, though, my two-bedroom apartment in Portsmouth is often a pigsty (ba dum chhh) it is not exactly pig friendly. So my pig-owning days are being put on hold.

If you are an experienced pig owner and you are looking to expand your drove, listen up! The New Hampshire SPCA posted about these two sweet ladies yesterday and they sound like a ton of fun. Their names are Penny Jo and Topanga (like in "Boy Meets World") and they have been described as "extra, mischievous, sassy, and loud".

Penny Jo

Topanga

According to the post:

"They like snacks, belly rubs, butt scratches, and mud--in that order. If you looked up “attention hog” in the dictionary, you’d see their faces. Or more likely, just a blur because they are usually too busy squealing around their paddock living life to the fullest They are super friendly, super nice pigs that want nothing more than you to play in the mud with them!"

Here's the deal, Topanga and Penny Jo are besties to the highest degree so ideally, these two ladies come as a package deal. I think if the New Hampshire SPCA HAD to separate them they would but they would much rather find a home for both. If you or anyone you know is interested contact them directly at info@nhspca.org.

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

Read on to see which pets are banned in your home state, as well as across the nation.

To prepare yourself for a potential incident, always keep your vet's phone number handy, along with an after-hours clinic you can call in an emergency. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center also has a hotline you can call at (888) 426-4435 for advice.

Even with all of these resources, however, the best cure for food poisoning is preventing it in the first place. To give you an idea of what human foods can be dangerous, Stacker has put together a slideshow of 30 common foods to avoid. Take a look to see if there are any that surprise you.
