Boogie (neutered male) was taken in temporarily while his mom was going through health issues, but the family thinks she passed (she stopped visiting after a year). They got him a friend named Nora (unspayed female) to keep him company after not being able to find any rescues or sanctuaries able to take him in. Boogie is probably 7 years old and Nora is 2. Nora is smart, social, and very sweet. She really wanted a friend, but Boogie lived alone for so long he's not very social. Nora loves to be around people. Boogie can be more of a grump, but he's a mellow guy who just really loves food and naps. Boogie used to be around the kids, but as he got older he became less nice and just wants to be left alone.
They both enjoy rooting, so they are kept in their pen which is near wet lands and is mucky from all the rain. They find it hard to get around. More space would be amazing for them. They both do fine around dogs. The small dogs in the home bark at them and they both just ignore it. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.)
Transportation is not available, so the adopter will need to make arrangements.
Boogie is neutered, but Nora is not altered so arrangements must be made to spay her prior to adoption. Intact pigs do not make the best companion animals. Spaying prevents unwanted litters, curbs behavior problems, and prevents uterine tumors.
