Welcome Home

The reasons pigs come to Ironwood vary. Some were abused, some neglected, some were even strays and other times we take pigs off the hands of breeders. Ellie and Peaches came to us from a dog/cat rescue. Ellie and Peaches had lived at this rescue for a couple of years but have been attacked by the dogs numerous times. Ellie was attacked very badly last week. She lost one ear and the other was still attached enough to remain with some stitches.

Both of these girls are still very happy and friendly. Ellie went straight for the hay on her first night.

The girls seem to be doing well so far and love getting attention. When I was visiting with them yesterday the babies came over to say hello. Peaches was more than happy to say hello back to them.

I think that Ellie and Peaches are going to be very happy here. Ellie seems to be healing well from her recent attack. These two are currently kept together in a large pen next to the babies as they get acclimated to their new home.
