Scott's Story
Scott, our hansdome and magnificent 180kg pig, came into our lives nearly five years ago along with his sister, Zelda. Their journey to our sanctuary is a testament to the unexpected turns life can take and the importance of compassion in animal rescue.
Originally purchased by two sisters as "therapy miniature pigs," Scott and Zelda's story took a turn when they began to grow larger than expected. It's important to note that there are no true miniature pig breeds in Australia, a fact that often leads to misunderstandings and, unfortunately, surrendered animals.
As Scott and Zelda grew, their owners' enthusiasm waned. The situation became dire when the sisters decided that the only option was to have them both killed. Thankfully, a concerned third party reached out to us. At the time, we were exclusively a chicken and duck sanctuary, but faced with the alternative, we knew we had to step in and welcome these two adorable animals.
Scott quickly blossomed into a hefty 180kg gentle giant, while Zelda grew to a respectable 120kg. Both pigs developed personalities remarkably similar to intelligent dogs - playful, intuitive, loving, and always eager for pats and rubs. Their presence at our sanctuary has been a joy and an education for all who meet them.
Sadly, we lost our darling Zelda to what we suspect was a snake bite. Despite three visits from the vet in a week, we couldn't save her. It was a heartbreaking day for all of us at the sanctuary.
Scott remains with us, a beloved member of our animal family. He now has a new, younger friend named Jenny, who playfully pesters him and tries to sneak bites of his food. Scott, in his mature pig wisdom, is not always impressed by these antics!
Your support helps us continue to provide Scott with the care, love, and respect he deserves. By sponsoring Scott, you're not just helping one pig - you're supporting our mission to give all animals, regardless of species or size, a chance at a happy, healthy life.
