Massive stray pig found roaming Southern California streets, now up for adoption

A rather unusual stray is looking for a new home in Southern California after being found wandering the streets.

The Inland Valley Humane Society & S.P.C.A. in Pomona is hoping to find a loving home for a large, black pig that was rescued by humane officers after being spotted roaming a neighborhood.

“Not every rescue involves paws and wagging tails,” the organization wrote in an Instagram post Sunday. “Sometimes, it involves hooves and a curly tail!”

Photos shared by the shelter show the hefty pig strolling along a sidewalk and grazing in a grassy area as officers responded to the unexpected visitor.

While the pig’s adventures on the streets have come to an end, the animal is now embarking on a new journey: finding a forever home.

I’ll take him home.

I’ll give him a nice warm place to live and a name.

Is this a new strategy to ward off adherents of the R.O.P.?

I’m guessing that it didn’t wander into any Asian neighborhoods.

“Thought I was going to see a photo of Karen Bass.”

I was thinking Whoopi Goldturd.
