We are so excited to introduce the newest member of our rescue family, Ferdinand. Our Pateon members already met Ferdi a few months ago. He’s a sweet pot-bellied pig, a KuneKune mix, who is about 2 1/2 years old.
Ferdinand’s story began with uncertainty when he was discovered roaming the woods, alone, in nearby Maryland. According to the neighborhood, he was a ‘wild’ pig for nearly two years and no one claimed him. One farmer was planning to ‘hunt’ him for being a nuisance at night when looking for shelter in their barn. 😞
Thankfully a kind and compassionate family kept an eye on him and worked patiently to gain his trust. After plenty of snacks and persistence, Ferdi was safely secured, and delivered to Furvivors.
It’s taken months of patience but he has shown us his gentle spirit 🐷 He loves to explore the property, like a farm puppy. And he is winning over everyone he meets with his curious personality and adorable snorts. His favorite place to hang out is in the garden where he spends the day with the hens, bunny, goat and the constant traffic of curious cats. One big happy family 🐷🐐🐰🐥🐈💞
As Ferdinand settles into his new life, he needs a few things to call his own, like dinner bowls, mini pig supplements & grain, and a kiddie pool for the already 90• days when pigs need to cool off and relax! 😎
And since it’s Wednesday, be sure to check our story for links to a few items on our Amazon wishlist.
