Piggy is headed home for the holidays. The Humane Society of Kitchener-Waterloo & Stratford Perth (KWSP) confirms a male pig who was found wandering the streets of Kitchener has now been adopted. Piggy came into the agency’s care about six weeks ago after he was spotted strolling the sidewalks downtown.
“I do know he was down in the core,” laughed Adam Stephens, Director of Marketing and Community Outreach with the Humane Society of KWSP. “It’s a bit unusual. Geese and whatnot, sure you can find those, but pigs.
.. not so much.
” It wasn’t Piggy’s first “big adventure” in the region as he initially met Humane Society staff in mid-October when he was discovered on the side of a rural road. “When Piggy came to us, he came as a stray and we were able to get him connected with his then-owner,” explained Stephens. “The second time Piggy came to us, Piggy had gotten out and the owner had actually admitted he was no longer able to take care of Piggy.
” The local Humane Society then stepped in to support and shelter Piggy, and get him ready for adoption. Part of that process involved raising awareness, which included a photoshoot where Piggy sported a dapper coat. “We wanted to make sure he was showing his best side and his best wear, and so we were able to fashion that coat for him.
” My name is Piggy! The staff here don't know a lot about me because I was found wandering the streets without my owner and they didn't come to take me home. Please note that .
