Spoonie

Spoonie (aka–SpoonMan) is one of the tiny group of man-pigs we refer to as Uncle Floyd and the Floydlings. They were part of a rescue operation in early 2022 where nearly 30 pigs were starving and in desperate need of assistance. We partnered with a fellow Tennessee pig sanctuary, Shepherd’s Green, to remove all of the pigs from the property. We helped them get vet care and safe placement into homes. Spoonie and his brothers all became permanent residents of OMI. The family consists of Uncle Floyd, Spoonie, Modoc, Waffles, and Oy, but they have lovingly adopted Uncle Hooper into their tribe. Hoops is one of our Washington originals, and he rounds out the crew perfectly. These boys all live in the Med Barn because they are terribly small, due to poor genetics and starvation. (Remember, “mini pigs” are a myth!) The boys are all healthy, but they will be very small for the rest of their lives.
