Idaho Animal Shelter Needs Help Finding Home for Potbelly Pig

It's no secret that here in Idaho--most residents are full fledged 'animal people'. Take a stroll anywhere and you're bound to see someone walking their dog...or dogs!

When it comes to resources for our local animals, many communities rely on their local animal shelters to assist. Whether it is for affordable care, adoption, or finding lost pets--our local shelters are stellar.

The West Valley Humane Society, located in Caldwell, is always doing great work for local animals and every now and then--they have a knack for going viral over a social media post. Sometimes it is a heart wrenching story of a pet that needs a home and sometimes it is just the most adorable photo of one of their adoptable animals.

Today--the West Valley Facebook page is getting lots of eye balls for another reason.

Take a look at 'Pumbaa', the potbelly pig that could bring all sorts of joy and companionship into your life! 

Wow, we sure love Pumbaa! 

Believe it or not, Pumbaa is homeless and is looking for a home!

In a statement released by the West Valley Humane Society who is hoping to find a forever home for this little piggy, the described his loving nature! 

Not only is he neutered and distinguished in age (we call that “mature and refined”), but we also believe he was a house-trained family pig in a previous life — making him basically the perfect roommate.

Would you let Pumbaa cuddle with you!?

The shelter also shared some of his hobbies, which include:

• Enjoying snacks like it's a full-time job
•  Lounging like a king
• Giving gentle snorts of appreciation
• Sunbathing like he’s on an all-inclusive vacation
• Taking naps serious enough to earn Olympic medals

Honestly, you probably have more in common with Pumbaa that you imagined before you read this!
