Wilbur, a potbelly pig, was brought into the PSPCA Centre Hall shelter by the police. He had been found in a crate with a litter of pitbull puppies. Apparently he was supper! Small and very friendly, Wilbur was at the shelter for several months. Terry Irwin made arrangements for Wilbur to go to a vet who specializes in potbellies and had him neutered. Pets Come First paid for the procedure so that Wilbur could go to Terry’s farm and live with other pigs without the fear of producing any “little Wilburs”! That’s shelter manager, Troy Klinefelter, posing with Wilbur.

Testimonials
Thank you Deb for your kind response to my frantic call yesterday regarding the little black kitten that followed me down Garner Street. I was given your number by Colby W. who gave high praises of your work. I spoke to the women who posted she lost her cat and she has offered to foster the little kitten, and possible will make it a forever home.

Deb – Thank you for your assistance in helping us find Sidney a new home. We felt so hopeless and helpless, you were the one person who was willing to help us out. I understand how extremely busy you are and you still managed to take time to speak to me during this heartbreaking situation. Sidney is doing well in his new home and is treated like a king.
– Lisa & Dale
