Heartbreakingly, Scottie's family abandoned him when they left their property... and when new occupants moved in, one of them was planning to slaughter and eat this lovely boy. Fortunately the housemate saw things differently, so Scottie was rescued.
He is a 15-month-old, ginger and black Kunekune X Captain Cooker pig. We have now had him neutered, vaccinated and wormed in preparation for his new home. After his booster shot, Scottie will be ready for immediate adoption.
Pigs are as smart as dogs and 3-year-old humans and they can live for 15-20 years. Scottie is likely to root up the soil with his snout and he will need grass, shelter, daily food and water, a wallow to bathe in and sturdy fencing to keep him contained.
Applicants must be committed to caring for Scottie as a companion animal for the length of his natural lifespan. We are looking for an animal sanctuary or a rural home where he will enjoy human (and/or animal) interaction and have a happy and comfortable life. We are looking forward to meeting his new family, following his progress and visiting him 2-3 times per year.

If you are able to offer Scottie a peaceful life where he is loved and appreciated for simply being himself, we look forward to your application at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thank you.
