Her new mom said she is excited to give the piglet a second chance and a new home, according to WRAL.

There are other pigs at Pearl’s new home, and she is going to be separated from them for a few days until they get used to her. Pearl’s new mom also said she’ll probably end up being the alpha pig.

This little pig is very lucky. We all have our destiny, and Pearl’s included having a loving home.
