Honey the Pig Finds New Home After Pasadena Humane Appeal

A 100-pound pig named Honey who was in need of a new home was adopted Wednesday after Pasadena Humane reached out to the public for help.

Pasadena Humane told City News Service Wednesday afternoon that Honey will soon be going to her new home after being adopted. The animal’s previous owner was unable to continue caring for her.

“Meet Honey, the 100-pound pig who’s as sweet as her name! Honey’s guardian was unable to care for her anymore, so she’s seeking a new home that’s the right fit for her,” the Humane Society said in its original Facebook post.

“This adorable pig is so friendly and comes right up to the front of her kennel to greet new people. We absolutely love her,” the organization added.

The Humane Society noted that pigs have specific needs involving nutrition, enrichment, veterinary care and space, and that local regulations governing ownership vary by city.

According to the organization, Bradbury, South Pasadena, Monrovia and Sierra Madre allow pigs, while Pasadena, Arcadia, Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge, San Marino and Los Angeles do not.

The donor-supported nonprofit organization, which provides shelter services for Pasadena and several surrounding communities, said pigs are smart and social and can make good pets for people able to provide the proper care.

The Pasadena Humane Society is located at 361 S. Raymond Ave. and can be reached at 626-792-7151.
