About Pot Belly Pig

***Bernard is bonded to two other pigs and an alpaca, so we are looking to place them all in a home where they will stay together!*** These 4 came to us from a hoarding case, where they and 60 or so other pigs had been left pretty much on their own, having to fend for themselves to find food and the only water source was a pond, covered mostly in green scum. We took these 4 because they were in the worst shape out of all of them. ' In her life before rescue Dolly had survived Meningeal worms, leaving her with some neurological deficiencies, but she doesn't let that stop her! Because of this, she has a pretty unique way of walking (a little bit sideways, like a crab!) and if she lays down the wrong way, she'll get stuck and will need some help getting up. We're guessing that she's about 12 years old or so, but unfortunately don't have any way to really tell. ' Bertrum is the old man of the group and we're guessing that he's about 20 yrs old. He's a pretty vocal grumpy old man but loves treats, so you can bribe your way into his heart in no time! He has some arthritis in his hooves due to his age and poor breeding, but is well managed on daily anti-inflammatory medication. ' Betty and Bernard are the more outgoing duo of the group and are the two who actually enjoy when they get attention, rather than just tolerating it like the other two. When they first came to us, Betty had been so overweight that she was fat-blind, so she's been on a weight loss program and is at a good and healthy weight now! ' Bernard is an absolute sweetheart who is ready to go with the flow, whatever's happening, and is just a really chill dude overall who loves belly rubs and being the little spoon. He is also on daily oral medication as well as monthly pain medication injections to help with severe front leg arthritis that will require veterinary monitoring throughout his life. ' These 4 have gone through a lot together, so our goal is to find a sanctuary or home that is able to take all 4 of them so they can stay together.
