Missing pet pig found weeks after vanishing in Colorado. Time for ‘hogs and kisses’
A woman looked for her pig for weeks after it went missing from her yard until she saw his picture posted on a Colorado shelter’s site. Felix had been found.
The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region said the shelter had picked up a stray pig earlier this month, according to an April 18 Facebook post.
Shelter staff said the pig was “friendly and social,” but the team wasn’t able to locate the owner, according to the Facebook post.
That was until they received an email from a woman saying her pig was stolen from her yard a couple of weeks ago. The woman told the shelter she had been checking the website every day hoping to see her pig had been found, according to the shelter.
When she heard that the shelter had found a stray pig, she ran straight over, the post said.
“She showed our team photos and videos of Felix playing with her dogs and eating yogurt and provided us with his microchip number!” the shelter wrote in the post. “It was a match!”
“We are so happy that this sweet little piggie went wee wee wee all the way home,” staff said in the post, adding that the story is full of “hogs and kisses.”
The shelter said though the animal had a microchip, it was not updated with the most recent contact information so team members weren’t able to contact the owner. They said they told the woman to update the contact information in case Felix gets lost again.
