I got all mine this year, Fern and her two babies Milly & Pip came from Glynneath in January. They were joined by the gorgeous Isaac in October. We all adore him, and even Fern who gave him a hard time to begin with can be found snuggling and rubbing noses with him now. They are one big happy family most of the time, and spend their days popcorning around.

Fudge and Bailey, 3 year old females.
Little Scott (now paired with Mitchell and waitng for their forever home).
Lorrie & Macie, mother and daughter, Lorrie is mum to Scott too. Also available for adoption.
Maria (another of Lorrie's babies) was pregnant when she arrived, not very surprising as she was in with her dad when rescued. She had 3 babies.
Cheese arrived via the Piggy Bank network, he has now been neutered and will be available to meet some ladies in the New Year.
Banjo also arrived via the Piggy Bank.
Mother and daughter, older girls. A complex tale of difficult family circumstances which led to them being rehomed and then brought in to rescue. In a very rare turn of events these girls are now back in their original home, a very happy ending to their story.

We've reached October in the piggy year.
Penny & Jessie, arrived in a putrid cage with newly added scented shavings hiding the filth, unwanted teenager's pets. "We're moving, the pigs aren't, you have them or they are going on Gumtree"
Prince.
Lily and her daughters.
Lily
Helena
Marina
Jacinta
Adult males arrived in their 75cm cage, had just been bought off Gumtree 3 days earlier, were brought to the rescue as the family dog wanted to eat them.

For Christmas Day I thought it appropriate that it snowed on the forum (seeing as it's just raining everywhere else).
At the end of October a call went out for Piggy Bank help for approx 70 white pigs, whose owner had let things get out of hand. When I collected the pigs it turned to be a more manageable 41, with the support of the Piggy Bankers most of the pigs were distributed to a number of PB rescues so that every single pig was found rescue space.
The girls.
A couple of the boys.
The mum and babies stayed as the babies were a bit on the small side to travel (and mum was on pregnancy watch)
A little girl was too poorly to travel as she needed support feeding and careful monitoring.
Once the 2 baby boys were old enough to move on to a rescue needing baby boars for piggy dating, the three females settled in and started to enjoy the comforts of rescue.
Two males remained as their in-breeding and poor nutrition had led to dental issues. The first to regain his health and strength met, bonded and went home with boar dater, Paolo.
The other male is coping well with having his teeth filed while I hope that his general condition will improve as well as his dental health.
The Glynneath GPR himi's have increased in number by one.
I hope you enjoyed Glynneath's white Christmas.

We are coming to the end of this year's pigs at Glynneath, unless more come in before the 31st.
Brindle, part of the BDS.
Laura & Emily. 3 & 4 yrs old. Laura is blind, treated for long term eye infection. Both are on 10 week pregnancy watch as transported to rescue in the same carrier as a male, Dylan (if either are pregnant it will be a high risk pregnancy). Reserved pending PW.
Dylan, 4 yrs old, BDS male.
Bartlett & Cogburn, 2yrs. I am looking for a very special home for these two. Please contact the rescue if you can offer them an experienced home as Bartlett needs someone who can keep a very close eye on his condition.
These two had the shortest stay of all the pigs that have come in to the rescue this year, reserved the day after they arrived and homed as soon as their quarantine was over. I wish all pigs could have their luck.
This has been a record breaking year for the rescue - 207 pigs!

In September this year I was lucky enough to get Pedro and Panda from the North Devon Animal Ambulance.
Thank you for helping me and saving my pigs
I would just like to say thank you so much for taking my boys Diego and Mr Scruff. In the summer, I found out my boyfriend of four years had been cheating on me and I just lost the plot totally. My pigs were my priority and you wonderful people jumped into action right away to help me rehome them. I left England and went home to Scotland to get my head together, and thought about quitting uni. Your support on here, updating me on my boys and also pushing me personally to fight though an awful situation was invaluable. I have no idea where the boys are now, but i know in my heart that they will be healthy and happy if you guys have anything to do with it. I think about them a lot and really really miss them. My plan had been to try and find a home where we could all live together, but unfortunately it all got too much and I had to go into hospital after a very stupid cry for help. I'm now back at uni, hopefully graduating top of my class and have my dream job to start in July. Just sad I dont have my boys with me anymore to celebrate with. But I wouldnt have been able to get through these horrible dark times without your help and support, and knowing that my little angels were being looked after. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, love dee xxxxxxxx

It's so lovely to hear from you and that you are doing so much better.
Mr Scruff is still here with me, I have plans to introduce him to a rather forceful young lady at the rescue in the next few days, he's been a bit too rude and insistent for the lady pigs that have come here dating. He's still a huge personality and very popular with all the visitors as he insists on saying hello and showing off to all of them.
Diego was bonded with another special piggy called Flash, he's been renamed Freddie and lives a fabulous life in London.
Give me a little time and I'll get some pics for you!
