We receive many requests for help regarding animals in need every day. So we also received a call for help from the six pot-bellied pigs. The caller told us that a couple was separating and the house was now to be sold. The animals would therefore have to be slaughtered and the date had already been set! However, the animal lover didn't want to let this happen and took the pigs in for the time being. However, it is almost impossible to sell adult pot-bellied pigs as they have long since lost their "cute factor". She couldn't keep the animals herself due to lack of space and was desperate. So the animal lover turned to us and asked us to take in the six pigs. She sent us a driver who brought us the frightened and neglected animals. Our task now: to gain the pigs' trust, to care for them in a healthy way and to give them a good and species-appropriate life.
