She says she was at the Shafter Animal Control & Adoption Center to see about adopting a dog when she noticed that one of the animals seemed to be out of place.



Turns out, this little piggy is a regular at the shelter.



He often ends next to dogs and other pets because he was a habit of escaping, according to Mildenberger.



She says the little runaway was picked up later that day.
