About Roger and Shye

Roger and Shye came to us as separate cases and were introduced in foster care. They have since formed a close bond and will be rehomed together.

Roger is very affectionate and enjoys human interaction, often flopping over for belly rubs. An incredibly sweet boy, he quickly wins the hearts of all who meet him.

Shye has had a difficult start in life and was previously kept in very poor conditions. As a result, she can take longer to build trust. She is more complex in her behaviour and needs a home with people who understand pigs, can read their communication, and will respect her boundaries.

Shye does enjoy interaction on her terms. She will often appreciate a back scratch and can sometimes enjoy a gentle belly rub. However, there are times when she prefers space, and she can be protective of Roger if she feels uncomfortable.

They would be best suited to a knowledgeable, experienced home that can provide consistency, patience, and appropriate handling.

As Roger and Shye need a very special home we are open to applications anywhere in the country and all transportation costs will be covered.
