Theodore the pig needs a home, and a society dedicated to animal welfare is hoping they can help him find one.

After being picked up and impounded for running at large in the Township of Langley, Theodore has been snorting his way into the hearts of the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) staff and volunteers for the last five months as they work to care and feed their approximately 800-pound resident.

LAPS executive director, Jayne Nelson said the search for Theodore害羞草研究所檚 new home has been a difficult one.

害羞草研究所淭heodore isn害羞草研究所檛 one of our typical placements,害羞草研究所� said Nelson.

害羞草研究所淲e have been working with local contacts to help find a suitable home for him as someone害羞草研究所檚 pet.害羞草研究所� So 害羞草研究所� no, Theodore is not destined to be somebody害羞草研究所檚 bacon; this two year old Yorkshire (breed) pig has an estimated lifespan of 10 to 15 years. He is also neutered 害羞草研究所� at a cost of more than $900, which was generously covered by a local donor.害羞草研究所�

The same animal control officer (ACO) who impounded him is helping with his foster care, 害羞草研究所淢y parents had the space and were willing to provide him the shelter he needed in the colder winter months,害羞草研究所� says LAPS ACO Tina Jensen-Fogt.

Currently, Theodore requires about five hours of LAPS staff time to care for him and another $100 a month in grain. That doesn害羞草研究所檛 account for the generosity of local businesses like Ralph害羞草研究所檚 Farm Market, the Real Canadian Superstore, and Canada Bread who are all donating produce, dairy, and bread to his daily feeding. 害羞草研究所淗e likes fruit, but will only eat his vegetables if they are roasted. So, my mom regularly roasts up his favourites to round out his meals.害羞草研究所�
