If you are missing three small pigs in the Shady Hills area, Pasco deputies might already have them. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office Agriculture Unit picked up the trio Thursday afternoon after deputies found them roaming the neighborhood. The pigs are being held while deputies work to locate their owner, and anyone who tries to claim them will need to provide proof of ownership. The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information to call the non-emergency line at 727-847-8102, option 7.
Where They Were Found And What The Sheriff Says
According to the Pasco Sheriff's Office, the Agriculture Unit picked up the pigs in the area of Shady Hills Road and Greenglen Lane and is holding them pending identification. The post reiterates that anyone claiming the animals must be able to show proof of ownership before deputies will release them.
How To Claim The Pigs And What Happens If No Owner Comes Forward
The Agriculture Unit frequently recovers loose livestock; a November 2025 three potbelly pigs in Hudson report described a similar recovery and noted that unclaimed animals may be placed for adoption or cared for by a sanctuary. Residents with tips or documentation should call the sheriff's non-emergency line and follow the Agriculture Unit's instructions.
