Ruth, aka Big Mama, is one of four pigs from the Rutherford Rescue living together in an outside pen at Ross Mill Farm. She's the largest of the group, just a big bigger than Remi (Digory & Raelyn are the smaller two). Ruth is a wonderful sweet girl who is very social. She'll come right up to the fenceline and ask for pets - and if you're feeling generous, she certainly won't say no to some grass or other treats! You can tell Mama Ruth from the others because she's the only one with some pink on her snout and she has a tiny bit of white between her eyes. She's a gorgeous girl who made it through some extraordinary circumstances and is ready for her forever home. 

Background on the rescue: The Rutherford Rescue Pigs were rescued from a hoarding situation in North Carolina. Blind Spot Animal Sanctuary reached out to many pig organizations for help with the overwhelming number of pigs in need of rescue. PPN's foster facility at Ross Mill Farm took in 12 pigs on 9/5/20, all of them young, many of them piglets. These piggies were quarantined and the couple baby boys are separated from the girls, but still near each other. They are curious and sweet, despite what they have been through so far in life. Some even were rolling over for belly rubs shortly after arriving! Many of them arrived underweight and in need of vet care, but they are healthy and happy pigs now!
