Buttercup Pot Bellied Pot Bellied Mission Viejo, CA

Meet Buttercup-

This pink and white sister is VERY sweet, and bonded to her sister Dancer. She is a easy keeper and loves her morning routine of feeding and a quick bath on hot days. She and her sister were rescued from a very bad situation and she has a permanent mechanical injury in her right shoulder, which affects her foot and gait.

She runs, walks fast and moves around very well. It does not stop her from doing anything physical. She is VERY sharp and doesn't miss a beat when it comes to activity around the property. On many mornings, she and her sister walk up the hill and wait at the door for breakfast. Other mornings they are out in the pasture grazing.

Her best day is treats, grazing, and naps in the shade. She is at a perfect weight. She sleeps on blankets and shavings under shelter and when its cold, she sleeps right next to her sister for warmth and companionship.

She likes people and is always looking for that hand treat. We are working on petting. She is a very happy piggy by nature, talks a lot, highly intelligent and enjoys a peaceful farm environment. She is good with friendly dogs and enjoys being in her pig pack with her sister Dancer and her surrogate mom Rosie.

She would enjoy being in a large fenced area with grass and trees. An excellent home would be with children and a family where they are included in daily activity. If that isn't possible a rescuer with other female pigs or friendly farm animals would be interesting for them. Both sisters are curious and enjoy hanging out during project time to supervise which is very cute. They like mud and hose showers on hot days, but like to be cleaned off in time for bed. They put themselves to bed around 4:00 pm or before dark.

Buttercup and Dancer just had their feet trimmed about November 2020. The farrier did a great job and they were excellent in the upside down box. They should have their feet done about every 6 months and I will provide his number if a local adoption happens. To stay at a good weight, they eat pot belly pick pellets bought at the feed store and at least one veggie and fruit every day. They are about 2 years old and have not been spayed. Although the girls have not been spayed, we are looking for a home where there is no possibility of getting pregnant or intentional breeding. We are looking for a lifetime placement for the girls, and they will need to be adopted together because they are so bonded.

For more information about this little angel, contact buddyranch@hotmail.com- thanks! We are looking for a local home but would consider any great out of state opportunity.

PS. If you live in the city and are considering this adoption, please verify the municipal codes for PB pigs prior to reaching out.
