Miss Saigon

Miss Saigon is a resident of our Main field. She gets along well with her field mates and enjoys resting under low shelters such as the one in the picture. She's quite friendly and is such a pretty girl! The story of how Miss Saigon became an Ironwood resident is a rough one.

Ironwood received a call from the humane society many years ago stating that they had rescued a potbellied pig. The humane society had received a call from some good citizens who saw a pig being chased and beaten with a hammer. Miss Saigon's owners were trying to kill her for food.

She had blood coming out of her ears and mouth but luckily did not have any brain damage. She of course was traumatized though and weary of humans.

Through much love and time Miss Saigon warmed up to the staff at Ironwood. She now enjoys attention and her time roaming the field. A big thank you for those that reported this crime. Please report any animal abuse to your local authorities.
