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 him: Roscoe is a sweet old man, but takes a while to warm up to new people. He likes belly rubs and bananas. He was an old man when my friend adopted him almost ten years ago, but he’s still getting around well and will run to us when he smells that we have some good treats. He lives in ~1/4 acre paddock with Daisy, who my friend adopted when she noticed Roscoe was lonely—they must be adopted together. He and Daisy come with a calf shed that I will happily deliver and he likes lots of fescue hay in the shed. Here and at his last home, his pasture was surrounded by an electric fence, which I will also give to his adoptee if needed. In the winter time, he gets a little lazy and will only leave the shed to potty, so I keep good hay on hand all winter. He has had regular hoof and tusk trims the past couple of years and tolerates them well.

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. 

If you are interested in adopting, please complete the application and mention the name, city, and state of the pig(s) you're interested in: https://www.pigplacementnetwork.org/online-adoption-application/
