And this little piggy went to ... Curtin.
RSPCA ACT chief executive officer Michelle Robertson said a super-cute piglet, now called Twiglet, was handed in to the shelter in Weston after being found wandering Curtin.
"Twiglet the piglet has had a curly start to her tale," Ms Robertson said.
"Twiglet, surprisingly, isn't the first pig I've seen here at RSPCA since joining the organisation. In the last 18 months we've seen two other pigs. Twiglet, however, is the first piglet I've seen at the shelter and [was] a very cute addition to the team. She's certainly brought a smile to our faces during this difficult time."
Twiglet was looked after, initially by a foster caring.
"Caring for a baby pig is no easy feat," Ms Robertson said.
"We're grateful to have foster carers in our network to help look after animals like Twiglet when they arrive at the shelter. For so many of the animals the shelter can be a scary and unfamiliar place.
"We currently have 115 animals out with our foster carers including kittens, cats, dogs and rabbits. Being a foster carer for baby animals often requires feeding and toileting multiple times during the night. It's a big commitment."

On Friday, Twiglet headed to her forever home.
"She's moving to a nice property where she'll get to live with other little pigs and enjoy the finer things in life like rolling in mud and lazing in the sun," Ms Robertson said.
