Dexter's Story
Dexter spent the first years of his life fighting to survive. On a neglected 50-acre property with no real shelter, clean food, or water, he and a herd of pigs were left to fend for themselves. They lived among piles of trash, often seen weaving through traffic on a busy nearby road. Despite numerous reports and law enforcement visits, help didn’t come until nearly a year after we rescued a piglet named Monty from the same property.<br/><br/>That long-awaited call finally came: the animals had been abandoned, and the Sheriff’s office asked if we could step in. When we arrived, only four pigs remained. Dexter was one of them.<br/><br/>Late that night, we returned to quietly bring them to safety. We found all four huddled together in a makeshift shelter. They were exhausted, dirty, but still trusting. We gently closed the gate, backed up the trailer, and brought them home.<br/><br/>Now safe at our sanctuary, Dexter is experiencing kindness and care for the very first time. He’s a bit shy at first, but his sweet personality is beginning to shine. He loves exploring his surroundings and cuddling up with his siblings for a nap.<br/><br/>Dexter is ready for the next step in his journey and is looking for a loving forever home where he can continue to grow, heal, and just be a pig. Could that home be yours?<br/><br/>Fill out an adoption form here: https://heartwoodhaven.org/adoption-form/
