About  Us

C.P.P.A. was founded in 1989, making it one of the oldest pig clubs in the country. It began with a few new pig owners in the north San Francisco Bay Area getting together to discuss this wonderful new pet. It was decided that they should create a club, and soon after they put together a rescue division. At first they looked at this idea as a big joke. No one really thought that the day would come when these highly desired animals, would really need help finding new homes.

From just a handful of people, this club has now grown to over 500 strong. Our members come from all over California, the United States and Europe with the majority living in Northern California.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about Potbellied Pigs as well as a referral rescue for pigs in need of new homes. Information that we receive about potential pig adoptions or surrenders from areas other than Northern California will be forwarded to rescue groups located in the appropriate areas. We have an emailing list of over 350 people world wide.
