Piglet Adoption Process and FAQ’s

Adoption Process

Step 1: Please read through our Pig Care/FAQ page to ensure you are prepared for a new family member.

Step 2: Fill out the adoption form.

Step 3: If your piglet adoption form has been approved, you will be able to submit a non-refundable deposit for $100 to hold an available piglet or join the waitlist.

• We will contact you when you are next on the waitlist if we do not have any available piglets at the time you place your deposit. You can pick a piglet from our available litters or move your deposit to a future litter. Please note, once you select a piglet, your deposit is not moveable to a future litter. If you select and decide you no long want that piglet, you will need to place a new deposit to remain on the waitlist for future litters.

Step 5: Pick up your piglet at our location in Maryland!

Frequently Asked Questions

“How much do our piglets cost?” The minimum non-refundable deposit is $100.00 and this is deducted from the final cost. The average cost of our piglets is $900.00 - $1100.00. This does not include Maryland state tax which is 6% of the purchase price. You are able to look at our “FOR SALE” page to see previous piggies and their pricing.

“When can I pick my piggy up?” Once you have selected your piglet, we will board your pig without charge for 7 days. Please pick up your piglet within 7 days or a boarding fee of $8.00 per day will need to be paid. We will coordinate once you have selected your piglet on the exact date/time of pickup. If the little piglet is not picked up within 14 days after notification that piglet is ready for pick up, your deposit will be forfeited and we will find new owners (unless there is prior, approved coordination with us). 

“Do you provide a health guarantee?” All piglets/pigs are guaranteed to be in good health and free from visible signs of infections, contagious or communicable diseases at the time of pick-up. Piglets will receive their first and second de-worming treatment prior to leaving for their new homes. All male piglets will be neutered and female piglets will be spayed before they leave for their new home. We finally found a wonderful Veterinarian who will spay our very tiny female piggies!  This is a cost saving to you of $250.00 - $500.00 dependent upon what part of the country you are located in.  

“What forms of payment do you accept?” You will receive a link from Quickbooks (credit card link) for both deposit and remaining payment. The deposit will be deducted from the total price.

“What do we need to bring when we pick up our new family member?” We recommend you bring a kennel for your new baby to travel in, especially if you are the driver and no one else is with you. New piglets also like to ride home on the laps of their new families. If the piglet gets a little nervous from all the changes, they will sometimes poop so bring some paper towels and a trash bag in case there is a mess and/or their litter box with non-cedar wood chips or newspaper in there.  You will know if they need to be placed in the litter box because they will start getting up from a nice warm lap and act a little hyper and start looking around.

Please bring some blankets when you come to get new piglet - old, used ones are just fine - they LOVE their blankets and will feel much more secure if you wrap them up in one of them! Puppy pee pads are also helpful!

Terms and Conditions

Squeals on Wheels is committed to help control the over population and production of unwanted pigs and protecting the quality of this tiny breed’s standards.  As the potential owner of a Squeals on Wheels piglet, it is important you read and agree with the terms and conditions of our sales/adoption policy outlined below prior to submitting a Piglet Adoption application.

By filling out the application, you will confirm that you have researched and have become well informed of the responsibilities of owning a mini pig. Furthermore, it will attest that you have read and agreed with the terms and conditions of Squeals on Wheels sales/adoption policy.

All adoption request applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. Squeals on Wheels reserves the right to refuse the sale of a piglet/pig at any given time and solely at our discretion. Once the application has been approved, the prospective piggy owner will be notified via e-mail and will receive confirmation on the availability of the chosen piglet(s) on the adoption request application.

In the case that the piglet chosen has been sold, we will notify you of the piglets that are currently available. At that time, you may choose to select another piglet or possibly wait for an upcoming litter.

Important notes

1. Please remember that adopting a piggy is a commitment of 15-18 years so we do not take any shortcuts in processing our applications.

2. We don’t ship out piglets. We receive calls from around the country pleading with me to ship a piglet!  We won't ship them.   It is very stressful for these tiny creatures to be put into a cage and ride in the belly of an airplane.  They frequently develop diarrhea from the stress and arrive shaking like a leaf.  

3. We do not allow piglet returns. We love our piggies and want to find them the best 'forever home' possible.  We understand it is a big decision to add a piggy to your home and have included a page entitled "mini pigs: the right pet for you" to help guide this decision. Please review this page before making any type of pig adoption decisions.
