Cotton Branch Farm Sanctuary in Leesville said in a Facebook post that that it is seeking "piggy cuddlers" to help socialize the animals after they were rescued from an animal hoarding situation in Kentucky.

Evan Costner, executive director at the sanctuary, said physical contact is important to help the pigs adjust when they are given new homes. "We need to socialize them so they can eventually bond with the herd leader," meaning their new owners, Costner told The State newspaper. Costner said the sanctuary is currently in the process of finding new homes for the 100 pigs as family pets.
