Roscoe and Daisy are a lovely pair of bonded outdoor pigs in need of a new home. They were rescued in 2016 or 2017 by a friend, and given to the current home when she moved out of state. Both the current and the previous home know almost nothing about Roscoe's past, but the friend was told he was "getting old" when she adopted him almost a decade ago. When the current home took him in, they were expecting to provide a couple years of care for an elderly pig, but he is healthy and getting around great! 

They are both friendly with people (as young as 7) once they get to know them, but will just walk away from strangers unless they have treats. They have both been around cats and dogs in the prior home, but the current home has never seen them interact closely with any animal besides each other. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) They are both current on routine vet care and take Cosequin joint supplement (which will be given to their adopters).

Their mom said this about her: Daisy likes belly rubs and bananas. She lives in ~1/4 acre paddock with Roscoe—they must be adopted together. She and Roscoe come with a calf shed that I will happily deliver and she likes lots of fescue hay in the shed. Here and at her last home, her pasture was surrounded by an electric fence, which I will also give to his adoptee if needed. When Daisy first came to me, I could not keep her fenced in, even with hot wire. The electric fence she comes with is meant to keep wild hogs out of gardens and she respects it well. Since she’s been in the hog net fence, she’s only gotten out once when I was mowing and the fence was down. She checked out the area immediately around her pen and sauntered on home when the sun started setting. Daisy is opinionated and is the alpha pig and bosses Roscoe around sometimes, but she I’ve never seen her be aggressive to a person. In the winter time, she gets a little lazy and will only leave the shed to potty, so I keep good hay on hand all winter. Daisy and Roscoe love to sunbathe and are accustomed to rooting out sleeping spots for themselves in their pasture. I keep a baby pool for them for water year round and make sure they always have a small mud puddle in the summer. Daisy can be a tad melodramatic—she has had regular hoof trims the past couple of years and screams so loud that the neighbors literally come running.

Transportation is available within 50 miles to the new home. 

Roscoe is neutered, but Daisy is not altered. You should discuss spaying with your vet - they may not feel spaying is the right move for a pig her age. Spaying prevents unwanted litters, curbs behavior problems, and prevents uterine tumors.
