The Cowichan & District branch of the SPCA is looking for homes for a sounder of swine that are being housed at its headquarters on Bell McKinnon Road.

The 29 pot-bellied pigs were surrendered to the SPCA on May 8 from a man who was no longer able to care for them.

But their numbers are already expanding as 24 of the pigs arrived pregnant, and some have already given birth at the SPCA.
