Peyton, the potbelly pig currently residing at the New Rochelle Humane Society, woke up Tuesday morning to a breakfast that included oatmeal, apples and a peanut butter-coated carrot. As explained here in this story, Peyton came to the shelter Sunday by way of a trio of Iona College students who rescued her from a man on Long Island who’d been keeping her as a pet but planned to dispose of her. (Apparently, Peyton didn’t get along with the man’s German shepherds.)

The Humane Society is looking for a permanent, more rural (and muddier) home for the pig and has been in touch with Farm Sanctuary, in Watkins Glen. It’s about four-and-a-half hours away, in the Finger Lakes region, and seems like it’d make for a happy home for a hog.
