Who stole “Piggie Stardust?” That’s the question after a pot-bellied pig being cared for by Charleston Animal Society was stolen over the Thanksgiving weekend. North Charleston Police are investigating the theft that occurred in the shelter’s barn.

On November 16th, Piggie Stardust was found as a stray at a Home Depot in North Charleston and was then brought to Charleston Animal Society for her protection and care.

“We are extremely upset that someone would break into our facility and steal one of our rescue animals,” said Charleston Animal Society President and CEO Joe Elmore, CAWA, CFRE. “We want this animal brought back to us safely and we want to see those responsible prosecuted.”

Charleston Animal Society is offering a $5,000 Reward for information that leads to the arrest and felony conviction of those involved.

If you have information on Piggie Stardust’s whereabouts, you’re asked to call North Charleston Animal Control at: (843) 740-2815.
