Chubby                       (sorry no picture, but believe me, he is cute!)

As you know Chubby was on of PPN's special needs pigs. He was not only slightly deformed with indentations in his sides, but he was very, very shy and would not go near people.      

Due to Chubby's fearful personality, he was passed over for adoption over and over again and as the months and years passed, we wondered if Chubby would ever find a new home.

We are happy to report that Chubby's adoption story is quite remarkable. The power of our Web Site shone through and Chubby's new family actually fell in love with him from his picture on our site. They were from Michigan and had recently lost their pet pig to old age. In their search to find another pig, the found our site and ultimately set their hearts on adopting Chubby.

Even though we told them he was standoffish and did not really like people, they were determined to make him a part of their family. They took a mini vacation -- driving all the way to Pennsylvania to meet Chubby. They arrived with stories of all of their rescued animals, pictures of their beautiful home and family and a determination to make Chubby their newest family member.

After staying at Ross Mill Farm for several days, Chubby and his new family returned to Michigan. Chubby's progress is remarkable -- his new Mom reports that he no longer is fearful of people, and actually loves to be touched and thoroughly enjoys his belly rubs!  What a remarkable transformation for Chubby -- proving that every pig can shine once the right home is found.

PPN volunteers found an answer to their wish with Chubby's new family -- he finally has a secure home, where his family offers him nothing but unconditional love. After years in foster care, Chubby now freely roams on acres of property nestled within tall evergreen trees. He is truly a very happy pig

Thanks to PPN, Chubby was truly given a second chance at life. He is one of the lucky pigs and stories like his are what make our volunteers continue to do the work we do.

Thank you for helping PPN to save Chubby and provide his with such a Happy Ending!

Chimes    

As you know, when Chimes became a PPN foster pig she was just a piglet of 4 month old. She had been in foster care for almost three years before someone came to the Farm and fell in love.

Her new human mother fell in love with Chimes from the first time she ever laid eyes on her. Who couldn’t have, she is such a cutie. Unfortunately, her new mom Eileen could not take her home due to zoning restrictions in her community.  But she continued to visit Chimes often and would spend time with her whenever Uncle Milton would allow it.

Although for sometime Eileen was unsure if she would ever be able to take Chimes home, that did not matter, in her heart Chimes was a very special pig and she continued to hope that circumstances would change.  As luck would have it, they did.

Eileen and her husband Kris found a new home and land where they could safely keep their pet pig Rosie, another adoptable Handsome and Chimes too!! What a wonderful day for both Handsome and Chimes.  Although it was hard to separate Chimes and Uncle Milton, Chimes was going to a big new pen and home with her new brother Handsome.

After a very short time, Handsome was sharing not only his space, but also his heart with Chimes. He has taken over protecting and caring for her like Uncle Milton once did. The two are now the best of buddies, they snuggle together, graze in the yard with their house pig sister, Rosie and just enjoy being pigs.

When Chimes first went to live at Eileen’s she was shy and afraid of her shadow. With some time and TLC she has blossomed into a wonderful companion. She enjoys attention and loves belly rubs. Eileen says “We are so blessed to have been able to make Chimes part of our family, she brings smiles to our faces on a daily basis.”

 Chimes sad story truly has a Happy Ending! Thanks to PPN and your generosity, Chimes was given a second chance at life. She not only grew up and made good friends she found a new loving family  -- for life.  While Uncle Milton was her protector, and he was sad to see her leave, he knew in his heart that she was going to a good place and he too continues to hope the right family will come along for him.

Merrily and Harper Tipster

As you know, when Harper became a PPN foster pig he and his companion Merrily had an undiagnosed medical condition, which caused them both to shake, fall down and have difficulty walking. Merrily was also pregnant and while in our care, she gave birth to a litter of five piglets

Two of her piglets did not survive, but the three that did are doing very well. They too have the same condition as their parents, which to this day, even after consultation with numerous pet pig veterinarians, some leaders in their fields, remains undiagnosed! One piglet “Nod” has a permanent new home and is living indoors and loving life. With this writing we are happy to report, both Merrily and Harper too have had Happy Endings.

In the Summer of 2001 a woman named Joan came to visit Ross Mill Farm to satisfy her curiosity about pet pigs. Joan immediately fell in love and decided she wanted to adopt pigs for her small “farmette” in Maryland.  Joan was very much attracted to Merrily and Harper, despite their disabilities, she saw through to their hearts and bonded with them. She sat in their pen until they were comfortable enough to come and visit with her. She was immediately hooked and set her sights on doing whatever was necessary to adopt these two special pigs.

Throughout the summer and into the fall, Joan and Susan, our foster mother, communicated regularly.  Susan has loved and cared for Merrily and Harper for quite sometime, and she knew they could only go to a VERY special home one where they would be extremely well loved and cared for. Joan demonstrated that she was to be that special person.

Joan has a beautiful home in Maryland where she also has a special needs horse and some other well loved animals. Joan is truly a wonderful woman with a heart of gold!

After deciding to adopt these special pigs, she began to construct a “Piggy Palace”. The “Palace is custom made, taking Merrily and Harper’s disabilities into mind. The house is insulated with plenty of space for the pigs and Joan’s frequent visits. It also has a ramp with rails on either side to help guide Merrily and Harper in without falling.

Joan is thrilled to have these special pigs and reports that she spends a lot of time with each of them every day. She works from her home, so she is able to provide them with lots of one on one attention.  Joan reports the pigs are becoming incredibly friendly with her, she gives them ear scratches everyday and belly rubs. They are also making friends with the horses, goats and sheep.

Thanks to PPN, Merrily & Harper were both truly given a second chance at life. Merrily was able to give birth to her piglets, they were both provided with the best vet care and both found a wonderful new home where they will be loved and well cared for  -- for life.  They are only two of the lucky pigs and stories like these are what make our volunteers continue to do the work we do.

Thank you for helping PPN to save all the pigs mentioned
and to provide them with such a
