Animals 41 - 44 (Page 11)

From Highway 101, doing 70 miles–per–hour, Maureen spotted a pig at the San Martin Animal Shelter. She and Marcie checked it out and found that he was older, not neutered, and earless. Maureen and the shelter arranged to have him neutered and he came to Belly Draggers. He is a sweet boy and is out with the rest of the pigs now. The only problem is that he is not very gentlemanly and bothers the ladies. He must still have some male hormones hanging around.

Van Gogh has been adopted by Diane and Bryan Collins. He is doing wonderfully well there! When Ercell took Van Gogh to his new home he said it was so nice that he wished he lived there.

While Wilber grew up, he had total control of the backyard and porch of a home in Salinas. Enter new baby girl into the picture and he was not pleased. As she grew up and wanted to play in the backyard too, Wilber wanted to share it less and less. At that point his owners decided to place him at Belly Draggers. Little did Wilber know how much sharing he would have to do here! He settled in nicely and is a very people–oriented pig.

Due to his own medical problems, Guy had to place his buddy, Woody, at Belly Draggers. He paid for Woody to be neutered and for his care for the rest of his life. Woody has so much personality! He became an instant favorite, especially with Eva. He has now joined the rest of the herd and has no trouble with the other pigs except Big Al, who wants to take him on every so often.

Starting out as “The Official Pig of the Internet,” we aren’t sure exactly how Yoshi ended up in rescue at eleven years old, but here he is. He’s a grumbler and complainer, but has a sweet disposition. He doesn’t go far from his pen except when it’s hot, then he trucks down to the mud hole and stays there until one of the pushier pigs root him out. He has the cutest white patch on his nose and the longest hair on his back that we have ever seen; it could actually be braided!
