This little piggy went to Iona.
Police were called Sunday with a report of “a pig on North Avenue.”
The New Rochelle Humane Society responded, and found this pig in the backyard of a fraternity across the street from Iona College on North Avenue.
“A group of students claimed the pig ‘just wandered into their yard’ a few days prior”, says NRHS Shelter Director Dana Rocco. “They were feeding it Cheerios. At least it was the unsugared type.”
The students also just happened to have a crate the right size for him, and a name: Payton.
Payton is now hanging out at the NRHS Shelter, where we photographed him. The staff is in contact with Farm Sanctuary, which will find it a more appropriate home. We are told he’s a pot bellied pig. Aw.
Now I want him.
We’ll alternate daily between animals for adoption and your fun or interesting animal and pet photos. Just email editor@theloopny.com with ‘Pet Project’ in the subject and include the name of your pet and your town. Or upload your photos to the looppool on flickr .
New Rochelle Humane Society and Farm Sanctuary are both such great organizations!!. SO happy Payton ended up in the right hands : )
