Daisy sadly lost her friend during the summer and, concerned that she would be lonely and struggle by herself outside during the winter, her family decided to surrender her to us so she could be warm indoors and have some company!

Daisy is a delightful girl, she loves to eat grass and makes the best hay nest you've ever seen! She loves a nap, and likes to nibble on a carrot cottage. She doesn't like apple but does like cuddles :)

Daisy had a lump on her back on arrival which has been identified as an abscess, lanced and drained. Unfortunately she also has another, smaller lump on her back. This could be another abscess which the vets have recommended would need surgical removal. There has been no change with antibiotics. Due to her age and the fact that the lump isn't bothering Daisy, we are reluctant to go ahead with surgery and have therefore made the decision to hold off. Daisy's lump has changed slightly, so we have taken the decision to keep her here at the sanctuary for monitoring. She also had some hair loss and a heavy louse infestation which has now been cleared with treatment.

Minky and Sprite are two big boys who were born here at the sanctuary. We rescued their mum, dad, a young boar and another sow from awful living conditions. With the boys heading off to another local rescue and the girls coming home with us, it was soon clear that Vera was pregnant. Luckily, her sow friend Belle had escaped baby free! With lots of love, food and medical care they thrived and Vera gave birth to 6 babies, sadly one still born.

Minky and Sprite are 2 of her babies! They ere adopted out together at the end of 2023 and have been absolutely loved to bits. Sadly their adopters' circumstances have recently changed and they were returned to us with all their lovely belongings! They are very happy lads, they love to popcorn and are very loud when the fridge opens. Sprite has aa delightful 'skirt'!

These boys are looking for a home with a large indoor enclosure and lots of fun!

Poor Lando was dumped by the local canal in an isolated spot along with some rubbish and children's toys. Thrown away like trash. He was spotted around the 21st April but couldn't be caught. 

After searching just about every inch of the area multiple times over the next few days with lots of help, unfortunately he seemed to have disappeared.

Fast forward 2 weeks and, whilst photographing the birds at a local wildlife centre I happened to look across the river to where he was last seen. We had left a box with hay and some water for him, and I zoomed in to have a look, just in case. Up popped Lando's head from by his box!!

Once home, he was thin, tired, dehydrated, cold and terrified.

He took a while to come out of his shell and is still a bit of a nervous boy, but he is quite bold and is now more than a normal weight for his age and size! He doesn't like parsley or pepper (fussy for a half starved stray!) but loves a big pile of hay and his nuggets.

He gets very excited at sweeping out time and will wheek and popcorn crazily with happiness. He knows the sound of the fridge, however quietly you try to open it, and is a curious and inquisitive little fellow.

He's quite quick to catch but once you have him on your lap he is happy to sit for a while with you. He likes to rest under your chin, but as he is so curious he also likes to walk about on you and explore. When he is having cuddles, he doesn't stop chatting to you!

He was originally bonded with Rufus, but sadly as Rufus reached maturity the boys fell out and had to be separated.

Lando was castrated on 18/11/22.

​

Lovely Princess Libby was surrendered as sadly her sister had to be put to sleep and her family didn't want Libby to become lonely. She is a very... voluptuous girl and is definitely in need of a diet! Her nails were very long and curled. She is a lovely sweet girl, not fazed by anything. She will sit on you for hours, licking away at your face and hands. She is definitely in charge of the pair, but they love each other very much and get on amazingly well.

Mouse is a lovely lady who was born here at the sanctuary. We rescued her mum, dad, a young boar and another sow from awful living conditions. With the boys heading off to another local rescue and the girls coming home with us, it was soon clear that Vera was pregnant. Luckily, her sow friend Belle had escaped baby free! With lots of love, food and medical care they thrived and Vera gave birth to 6 babies, sadly one still born.

Mouse was the smallest baby but has grown into a big lady! She is a fairly timid girl who can be anxious and finds support in a piggy companion (who she likes to follow about). She is quite vocal and chatty, and isn't a huge fan of cuddles (a snuggle sack helps her to feel more settled though) but will allow you to trim her nails. She has been adored for the last 2 years but sadly her elderly companion has passed away and she is now back looking for a new friend.

Rusty and Rugrat are a delightful pair of boars. Rusty first arrived here in May 2020 and has been with his original adopter for the last 5 years! His companion passed away and his adopter also took in Rugrat and his brother Edgar Allen Pig from us. When Edgar passed away, Rusty and Rugrat became very good friends. 

Sadly their adopter has, due to no fault of their own, had to return the boys to us after years of love and care and will very much miss them!

Because of Rusty's advanced age and some health issues he currently has, him and Rugrat will be staying here permanently.

When Rusty gains his wings, we will be looking to adopt out Rugrat to a new, forever home with a friend!
