The homeowner told ACS that it appeared someone opened a gate, shooed the pigs in the backyard and left.

“Pigs are illegal in SA. These are Vietnamese potbelly pigs. We get it. They are adorable, but they are prohibited,” said Lisa Norwood, with Animal Care Services.

ACS is now trying to find a home for the pigs outside of city limits.
