About Mini potbelly pig

Farm Animal
Age: Baby
Sex: Female

Hi there, I am writing in an extremely desperate and dire need of help for a mini potbelly pig. I had her since she was a few weeks old until around 9 months. I unfortunately went through a bad relationship and resulting divorce and relocation and was unable to give her the time, home and care she deserved during this chaotic time. I had several potential homes lined up for her, indoors as she was used to and fairly close by; none of them panned out for various reasons mostly people changing their minds after committing to taking her. I was then contacted by a nice lady with a farm and rescue with many other animals. I was hesitant to the idea as she's always been a spoiled indoor pig and with me 24/7, but the woman explained that she allows pigs coming from homes to sleep in and outdoors as they wish and acclimate to bonding with other animals for the first time. I brought her there September 1st. She had a slow transition and appeared to be grieving for me, but then seemed to be warming up to the family there, getting along with most of the pigs and other animals. Somewhere along the way the progress stopped and she apparently has snapped at the owners very young daughter, nips at the owners feet and is aggressive towards a newborn litter of piglets as well as their small dogs. She's now sleeping outdoors in a barn and does not enter the house, so I guess she can be outdoors. In the 8 months I had her, she had never shown aggression or nipped or bitten me or anyone else. She was around two small dogs consistently and they just were indifferent to each other and didn't really care about the other one way or another. I am devastated to hear things have somehow changed drastically in the two months she's been away from me. I do not have the means or home to take her back permanently and it breaks my heart. The owner has asked me to take her and says she's exhausted all options and will not keep her. I am at a loss of what to do. Finding a home with an emotionally heart wrenching process and I was just feeling slightly more at peace knowing I did the best possible thing and that this woman would not give up on her and she would have a loving forever home that was patient and would even keep me updated and allow visits in the future. That is apparently not the case and I have no idea where to go from here. Please let me know if you can help me of have any thoughts or questions. Just to be thorough and make sure i've given you every detail about her as I can, I am including my original post trying to rehome her from months ago with all of her information. '*LOCATED IN CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA. I am looking for a really loving and permanent home for my best friend and companion, 'Pigletta'. She is 9 months old, roughly 25 lbs, lives indoors, snuggles in bed, and does love her grazing and sunbathing (with sunblock) time outside. She eats a diet of primarily organic vegetables and lean proteins, has a daily multivitamin and has always been on preventative ivermectic & safeguard. I've had her since she was a couple weeks old and she's been my companion and strength through the toughest time in my life. She knows 'sit' and 'spin'. She LOVES cats. When she was a baby she was in love with a french bulldog, but after a month or so he started acting aggressively towards her so I seperated them for her safety. She is indifferent towards two other small dogs that she is frequently around. She has not been around kids but has never shown aggression to anyone or anything period. She has never been restricted or crated and I don't want that for her. She is definitely a love and very needy, so she will need a lot of attention and not a household with everyone gone for long periods of the day. I had posted in this group about a month ago and deleted it, very confidant I had found a perfect match but their situation changed last minute. Personal circumstances aren't really relevant to the fact that I need to find my baby a home, but in starting this search over I will briefly summarize- I went through a bad divorce and removed myself from an unhealthy situation. While I wouldn't change anything and am proud of myself for being strong enough to leave, I am starting over. I'm currently staying with friends and it's not an appropriate or possible environment for her, and i'm unsure when if anytime in the near future i'll be able to provide one again. I may be moving closer to family out of state. Please don't bother commenting negative opinions formed of me or suggestions to keep her, I have exhausted every option and it's just not fair to her at this point. It's going to break my heart but I need to find her a stable and permanent, loving home ASAP so she can adjust and be the happy little love she is. She is spayed'
