Dave

Dave is one of our Washington original pigs. He was being raised for slaughter in a neighborhood backyard, and his fate changed because a man walked by every day with his dog and became Dave’s friend. The man helped orchestrate Dave’s freedom, and we accepted him as part of the original group of OMI pigs. Dave is a friendly, social, happy boy that loves his life here in Tennessee. He still snuggles with his original partners, Gus and Bubo, and they live in the Washington neighborhood with a huge family of pigs. Dave’s initial rescuer is still a generous supporter of OMI many years later, and he checks in periodically to see how Dave is doing. Commitment to animals is almost as magical as pigs like Dave making it to a sanctuary home. We’re very grateful that Dave was lucky enough to have found his rescuer.
