My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Daisy + George | Pigs | Miniature mix | 4 years | Female + Male | 200-250lbs
*These pigs are likely a “miniature mix” however, miniature pigs can grow up to 200lbs+ depending on lineage and genetics. These piggies are on the large size weighing around 200-250lbs.

Meet Daisy and George, lovable and friendly house pigs looking for a forever home! The family that adopted them had them for 4 wonderful years and now want to surrender them at no fault of these piggies own. This is unfortunately a continual tale with pet pigs. They are so cute when they are babies but can grow larger than anticipated. These adorable pigs are 4 years old and are siblings. They currently live in the house with their humans and other animal siblings but once the weather warms up, these two can be introduced to the outdoors to live in a safe and heated enclosure for when it’s too sunny (pigs need shade as they can burn in the sun) or too cold (they will need a heated enclosure for the winter months or they can freeze).

Daisy and George are wonderfully behaved happy piggies and would make the perfect addition to any family. These siblings are not just your average pig; they are incredibly intelligent and have charming personalities. They love to explore, play, and interact with humans. George and Daisy are also very social and get along well with other animals, making them great companions for your existing pets.

In terms of care, Daisy and George require a spacious and secure outdoor area for them to roam and root around in. Pigs are intelligent animals that require mental stimulation and regular exercise to thrive. They also need a balanced diet consisting of pig feed, fresh fruits and vegetables. Daisy and George are clean animals and have even been trained to go outdoors for bathroom needs!

Daisy and George have both been spayed and neutered respectively. They have also been dewormed and recently had their feet trimmed.

If you are interested in adopting sweet Daisy and George, please ensure that you have the necessary permits and legal requirements to keep pigs as a pet in your area.

Are you ready to welcome adorable Daisy and George into your home? Please get in touch with us today to arrange a meet + greet and learn more about these wonderful pigs! If Daisy and George sound like the pair for you, please fill out a Creatures Adoption Application on our website: coveted canines.org/creatuersapplication

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Once you see a pet you are interested in, please submit an application on our website. We have separate apps for Canines and Creatures!

2.

Approve Application

Applications are reviewed and an Adoption Team member will be in touch with applicants we feel are the right fit for the pet applied for.

3.

Meet the Pet

A meet & greet will be set up between applicants, the animal of interest and their foster home.

4.

Home Check

A home visit and 3 personal references are completed + a vet reference if you have a pet currently or have previously had one.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

Successful applicants must sign the adoption contract + medical waiver and pay the adoption fee before picking up their new family member.

Additional adoption info

Coveted Canines and Creatures Rescue has a rigorous, tiered, application process to ensure that each pet is matched with the home that best meets its needs.

1. If you see a pet that you are interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application on our website. We have 2 separate adoption applications - a Canine Application for our adoptable dogs and a Creatures Application for our adoptable pets of other species (such as cats, rabbits, small domestics.)

2. Once Coveted Canines and Creatures receives your application and reviews it to be an appropriate match for the pet you are interested in, a member of the Adoption Team will be in touch with you via e-mail to review your application and answer any questions you may have about the process or the animal - remember to check your spam/junk folders for a response from our team. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to your application. Being an entirely volunteer-run organization, we are only able to respond to those applicants selected to proceed. We only process a maximum of 3 applications per pet simultaneously.

3. Our adoption process requires a home visit and 3 completed personal references (plus a vet reference if you have had previous or current pets) prior to adoption. We will also set up a meet and greet between you and the pet during your application process. Adoption events are a great place to meet our dogs (and the CCCR team)!

4. If you are the successful applicant you will be notified by our Adoption Team via email and you will be connected with the foster parent to take home your new family member. The adoption contract, medical waiver and adoption fee must be paid/completed before your new family member is picked up.

5. If you are not the successful applicant but are pre-approved to adopt from us you will be notified by our Adoption Team via email and encouraged to continue to look on our social media feeds (www.facebook.com/covetedcanines and @covetedcanines on Instagram) for the next pet that interests you. You will already have completed a home visit and references so your application will be ready to go for the next one.
Please note that being pre-approved does not mean you'll automatically get to adopt the next animal that interests you. Pre-approved means we recognize you’d be a good pet guardian, however we need to ensure that the animal is the right fit for you and your family.

Please note: we do not call applicants to discuss why they did not get chosen for a particular pet.

Canine adoption fees: $900 for puppies (8 months & under), $700 for adult dogs (between 9 months - 7 years) & bonded pairs, $500 for senior dogs (8 years+)
Creatures’ adoption fees are indicated in their bio.

More about this rescue

Coveted Canines and Creatures is a Toronto-based Animal Rescue organization that focuses on animals that are at high risk of being euthanized and those that are vulnerable to abuse. We help dogs, cats, small domestics, birds and farm animals. We believe there is the right home out there for the pets in our rescue and pride ourselves on matching our animals to people. Our goal is to find the right forever home for each pet in need! While animals we feel cannot be re-homed are able to live at our sanctuary happily ever after.

Coveted Canines and Creatures is a not-for-profit organization that is wholly run by unpaid volunteers. Everyone on our team donates their time and expertise all for the love of animals! We do not have a shelter – we place our dogs and cats in loving foster homes where they feel safe to bloom and can learn important socialization skills. Our other animals big and small reside at our farm sanctuary where they can rest and recuperate in a safe and comfortable environment for as long as they need.
