Jack was one of the eight pigs who came to OMI when another sanctuary downsized their operations in 2022.
Jack was found roaming through a bean field in Iowa…very likely an escaped pig from a factory farm. He’s a huge, gentle Yorkshire with a devilish grin and a passion for the swamp. Jack is one of our most challenging residents for sunscreen application in the warmer months, an essential part of caring for pink pigs. The rates of skin cancer are extremely high, so we endure his growling and walk him gently through the process every day. Caregivers laugh daily at Jack’s dinosaur impersonation as he roars at us, which is really all for show. He’s not a biter at all!
