Meet Aurora’s 400-pound, pink and very friendly former outlaw: Fred the pig.
Fred was first spotted in Aurora tearing up landscaping on Sept. 24, according to Aurora Animal Services Field Supervisor Augusta Allen.
“He definitely didn’t want to end his walk,” Allen said, laughing. “He wasn’t mean about it, just a little obstinate. He didn’t want to end his holiday.” It’s possible he wandered into the city from a farm, but farmers would typically come looking for their animal, Allen said. Aurora Animal Services takes in about 20 livestock animals a year, most commonly goats, sheep and chickens, Allen said. Pigs are rare guests, and in her four years on the job, this is the first time a pig has stayed at the shelter.
