VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — It’s a happy ending for a potbelly pig that was abandoned at a Vigo County property.
Tuesday, MyWabashValley.com told you about a man who’d found an unexpected visitor on his property in southern Vigo County. As of Friday morning, John Holcomb said the pig is on its way to a farm in Brazil where it will be united with a group of 5-6 other potbelly pigs.
Holcomb, who owns and operates Vonbernd K-9 Training Center, said he received numerous phone calls from individuals who were interested in taking and caring for the pig.
Holcomb said animals like this tend to do better in groups or herds, and so the fact a woman from Brazil, Indiana already had experience caring for potbelly pigs and currently has a bunch of them, made her the right choice to care for the initially unwanted guest.
