LISTING REMOVED. Hampton (near Norfolk), VA: Sweet and loving sow needs a new home due to a changed work schedule. This very gentle one year old pig comes with her cage, food, two water bottles (perfect for when you get her a friend), shampoo, vitamins, and bedding. Very reasonable adoption fee, especially considering all that comes with her.POST DELETED. Salem (near Roanoke), VA: This is a reposting for an ad that originally had four pigs available for adoption, but is down to two. I hope the others are okay. The two sows are very bonded (and cute). They are described as very friendly and healthy, and they come with their petstore cage (get them a C&C by following the links at the bottom). Also comes with accessories and any left over bedding or food. The poster hopes to find them a home by Christmas.
POST DELETED. Fairfax Station (in NoVa), VA: Two boars, enormous C&C cage, and accessories being rehomed for a really, really good adoption fee. This is a great ad for someone who is new to pigs but has educated themselves on the basics. The brothers are less than one year old and incredibly adorable. They are being rehomed due to severe allergies, and are available for pick up at a specified public space (smart on the part of the posters).
LISTING DELETED. very weird. Burke, VA: A repost of two cute boars. the black and white boar is eight months old, the other one is three months old. Must be adopted together. Experience with kids, vocal, very affectionate and love attention. Must purchase cage (petstore cage, get a new one) and lots of supplies for very reasonable price. Wait a minute, what the hell? These are the two other boars from that ad that used to be for four pigs. Did someone pick them up and is now rehoming them a week later? Or is this poster posting them from two separate places? Investigate before adopting from either of these ads.

Oh I just love the Dalmation one he looks so much like my Rose . The other one so cute with that fluff bottom :) .
Oh I'm so bad with breeds, I thought the dal was a roan. Biased by my Sophie I guess.
The person took down this ad, but there's an old one for them still up. I think something really fishy is going on.
He may be a roan . He looks more like a dal though. I hope whatever is going on that they get a good caring home !
