Rosie Rona was saved from someone who was not feeding her. Unfortunately, the family that took her in wasn't prepared for a piggy and have been unable to get her hooves trimmed. They are in dire need of attention. The dad in the family used to be able to carry her outside, but he broke his knee and can't carry her outside and she won't use the stairs herself. She needs easy outside access and has been going to the bathroom inside since she no longer has yard access.
Rosie does not like loud noises. She loves her cheeks rubbed even though she will grunt at you about touching her. She loves belly rubs. She loves her fruits and veggies. She lives with children ages 11, 9, and 5. She has never bit anyone, just grunts and growls, but loves being pet. She also lives with a few cats and dogs and is fine with them both, even while eating. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.) She's not a fan of loud dogs, though, since the loud noises scare her.
