Josie was born at the RASTA Sanctuary on June 20th 2017 along with her sister Tinkerbell and three brothers Juno, Huxley, Dudley, and Spanky. Josie's mother Sophie came to us as a pregnant foster pig from the Duncan SPCA, along with Sophie's sister Emma. Both mothers were only 6 months old when they were already pregnant and in need of rescue from a terrible hoarding situation.
Recognizing and honouring the close family bond between the two mothers and all their piglets, the RASTA Sanctuary opted to commit to the lifelong care of Sophie, Emma and all their babies rather than having them return to the SPCA for individual adoptions. We sucessfully raised the funds necessary to have all 10 piglets and their mothers spayed and neutered and are grateful to have had the opportunity to keep their family together.
