Pig surprise for new Burbank home owners

My buyer clients, Shane and Stephanie, recently closed their purchase of a house on Pass Avenue in Burbank. Yesterday, they learned from the neighbors that the house had previously been used as a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig rescue sanctuary! One of the previous owners kept anywhere from 15 to 20 pigs on the property at any time -- and kept it secret from the City of Burbank, too. Nice work. We wondered about a 1-foot deep hole dug in the backyard and what it had been used for. I'm now guessing that it was a pig wallow. While I am surprised, I'm always happy to know that some humans are kind enough to protect animals. And my clients are waiting for a stray pig to come to their door some day and ask for sanctuary.
