Police Find Lost Pig In Harford County; Search For Owner
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Is this your pig? Havre de Grace Police Officers say they found him in the area of Union Avenue and Congress Avenue.
They are searching for who may own the animal.
The officers had a little fun and sent out an alert on social media, and the little piggy gained celebrity status, even being written up in the local paper.
"It's very unusual," said Cpl. Dan Petz of the Harve de Grace Police. "I never heard of a call like that before and there's no farms downtown."
The Harford County Humane Society, where animal control took the pig, is used to all kinds of critters. They deduced the pig did not come off a farm.
"It's a pot-bellied pig that would probably do best inside a home," said Erin Long of the Harford County Humane Society. "It's very scared. I think that it's going to come around, but right now it's just feeling overwhelmed."
Police ask anyone with information as to the pigs owners to call them at 410-939-2121 or message them on Twitter @HdGPolice.
The pig still hasn't had a medical exam. but, if no one claims him by Friday then he will be put up for adoption.
