About Us
North American Pet Pig Association (NAPPA) and Pigs as Pets are a
volunteer- based animal welfare organization, dedicated to helping
Vietnamese potbellied pigs and miniature pigs. Since 1989, we have worked
to ensure that Vietnamese potbellied pigs and miniature pigs are kept
responsibly by people who choose them as pets. By working with a network
of volunteer advocates, shelters, foster caregivers and local veterinarians is
able to help many potbellied pigs and miniature pigs every year. We provide
these pet pigs with care and temporary homes until we can place them into
their permanent homes. We also serve as a resource to our community by
providing information on pet pig ownership, including resources for
spay/neuter, positive behavior training, nutrition and veterinary care. We
believe no pet pig should be mistreated and are working towards the day
when no pet pig is euthanized for lack of a home. Our goal is to work with
state legislators to reclassify pet pigs as a pet in every state. Many states have already changed their
category from livestock to a companion animal.
