Meet two of our four male piglet brothers Tango, and Romeo! These boys came to us with their momma Juliet, sisters Charlie and Delta, and brothers Sarge and Rambo, as owner surrenders when their family’s fencing could not properly contain them. Rescuing these guys was quite an endeavor as two of them broke free of the fencing as we attempted to get them into crates for transport. One was smart enough to return on his own, but Tango took hours to catch. Eventually he was trapped under an RV on the property and our board member Tess was able to grab him by a back leg and we quickly secured him in a crate before he was hit by a car.
The boys have spent the last couple of weeks living in an indoor foster home and have adapted beautifully to indoor living! They are all litter box trained and have not had any accidents since the first few days in the foster home. They love enrichment toys and have come a long way with their socialization.
Tango is still a bit timid with us, which makes sense with the traumatic nature of his rescue, but he now will accept pets from us while he eats! Given a few more weeks of socialization we know he will come around to be just as outgoing as his brothers Rambo and Sarge!
Romeo really enjoys playing with his enrichment toys and if you give him a challenging puzzle he won’t quit until he figures it out! He’s still a bit timid with handling but gets more social each and every day!
These guys are improving each and every day and they're ready to move onto their forever home! If you are interested in adopting them, you can fill out an adoption application on our website, waywardranch.org or reach out to us if you have any questions!
