This was a serious emergency case we were contacted about involving a young pig living as a stray in a rural part of Michigan with a male companion. It’s cold in Michigan in the winter, and these two were out fending for themselves when the male was shot and killed. A fellow rescue organization was contacted to help the one who escaped, and they named her Abby. We partnered with that organization, Bloom Animal Advocacy in Branch County, MI, to get Abby safely to our sanctuary. Every rescue starts with one common denominator—one person has to step forward and show some compassion! The chain reaction can turn into something magical.
Once Abby was secured, she was taken to Purdue University for a badly broken leg. She had surgery to repair the leg and returned home to recuperate and rehabilitate her injured leg. Abby has had extensive rehab, gained strength and is using her injured leg. Abby’s medical journey–while very successful so far–will continue as she grows!
Update:
Abby currently lives in the Northwest Neighborhood, where she is allowed time to roam GenPop on a daily basis. Her activity is currently limited and monitored as she continues to heal.
