Rescue has a way of bringing the right souls together at the right time 💞
On a Sunday morning, Susan received a call about a young piglet whose family lovingly recognized that they weren’t the right fit. Rather than waiting until he was older, they made the compassionate decision to rehome him while he was still young and highly adoptable.
Susan took the piglet, Tweed Higgens, home to care and quarantine him, and couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t a coincidence, after hearing from long-time Pig Placement Network and Ross Mill Farm supporter and friend, Kathy Ruttenberg, whose beloved piggy Francis passed away. Both Kathy and her other pig Tiggy were grieving. Kathy had shared that she’d be open to welcoming another pig someday, but only if it’s the right match for Tiggy.
Sometimes the stars align. ✨ Susan felt that a playful young piglet might be exactly what Tiggy needed, giving her a new friend to nurture while helping everyone begin to heal.
One phone call on Monday, one visit on Wednesday, and Tweed was headed home with Kathy, and we couldn’t have imagined a better match!
Thank you, Kathy, for opening your heart once again, for giving Tweed a loving home, and for your many years of supporting Pig Placement Network’s mission. We can’t wait to watch this new chapter unfold. 🐷💕 Sometimes rescue isn’t just about giving one pig a second chance, it’s about healing hearts on both ends of the journey!
