LANCELOT
Is there room in your heart and home for a smart and affectionate little guy like me? I promise to behave in exchange for daily belly rubs, hugs and healthy veggie meals. I'm Lancelot, a pot-belly pig, about 7 months young, and I love being with cats and other pigs. I'm pink and white, so I need to be indoors mainly so that I don't get sunburned. I'm ready for adoption today.
The Nevada SPCA is a no-kill animal sanctuary located at 4800 W. Dewey Drive in Las Vegas. For more information on animals featured here, visit www.nevadaspca.org, or call 873-7722.
