Foreclosure Finds One Pot-Bellied Pig In A Crisis

"Moogy" The Fort Lauderdale Pig Loses Home In Housing Crunch

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (CBS) ― Moogy is about three years old and housetrained. His former owners foreclosed on their South Florida home and could no longer keep him, reports CBS station WFOR-TV in Miami.

Michelle Frier, adoption supervisor at the Wildlife Care Center, said "They were heartbroken - to have to give him up, and I think, he was heartbroken to be back here because he's back in the barn."

In October 2005, the same animal rescue center found him on the side of the road in Plantation, Florida, when he was six months old.

A month went by when a young couple, recently engaged, came in and adopted him, where he took on the role of an indoor pet. But along came the American housing crisis, and the couple's loss of their home meant the loss of their pig.
