Sex: Males
Age: Unknown but look young - 1 year?
Location: Toronto
What is their background story?:
These sweet boys were found dumped outside and were taken to a shelter that did not have facilities to care for small animals. They were kept in the office there briefly before ACR was contacted and they came into foster care. They have slowly calmed down from their very stressful experience. They were initially separated by the shelter as one was believed to be female but they were happily reunited in foster care and their bond is strong.
What is their favourite activity?:
Travis and Chief are both a bit shy, but will come to the side of the cage when food is coming. They do like to chew on wood.
What is their favourite food?:
Hay, hay and more hay! They love orchard grass hay and like to rummage around and bury themselves in a big hay pile. They also eat oxbow pellets and fresh greens.
What is their best trait?:
I love that these guys have perfect little capybara faces on their wee little bodies.

What is their background story?:
Jacques came to rescue as a very social and healthy pig so he was well looked after.
What is their favourite activity?:
Jacques loves eating and squeeking. He is not afraid to ask for food anytime he hears the fridge open, the chopping of veggies, the footsteps of his foster family or first thing in the morning when he hears movement.
What is their favourite food?:
Jacques is not fussy on what he eats but romaine lettuce and hay have to be his favourites.
What is their best trait?:
Jacques has a big personality for such a little guy. His wrinkles and head fuzz make him the cutest pig around. He is very social and interacts with his foster family with no fear and will climb on them and waddle up to them when called. He is loving and sweet and a joy to see every day.
Final thoughts:
Jacques would make a wonderful, loving addition and would thrive in a forever home.

Age: 2 years 6 months and 3 years
Location: Hamilton
What is their background story?:
Twixie and Galaxie came to us from the freedom drivers and Last Chance Rescue out of Quebec. They are a mother and daughter pair and were surrendered after dad died. We are super glad these beautiful girls rode to freedom in Ontario and we're sure they'll find a loving forever-home!
What is their favourite activity?:
After their long drive, these girls were pretty spooked and it took a day or so before they would even venture out of their hideys. Once they did, it became clear that mom, Twixie, is the more adventurous and has a very forthright (not to say demanding!) squeak when she wants food. Galaxie is still finding her voice and we look forward to updating their profile once they settle in.
What is their favourite food?:
We're not sure they had much access to good veggies and hay in their previous life, as they are very cautious about trying new things so far. But they certainly come running for treats.
What is their best trait?:
It seems like an exaggeration, but honestly these are the prettiest pigs you'll ever see. They have the most perfect little faces and they are so sleek and glossy. We don't know their personalities much yet, but they seem very sweet and loving to each other.
Final thoughts:
These two should be ready for adoption by about March 20th, 2024.
