ROOTER’S GROWTH

ROOTERS STORY

One of the largest in demand resscue is pigs! At the farm we reccieve at least three calls a week about taking in another pig, at times that number has reached over twenty. Unfornately, we have to turn away these rescues and give resources to aid in them in finding a forever home. Rooter is a special case, brought to us at only a few days old and lost his mom. The wonderful family who took him in explained to us that his mom met her untimely end at the hands of teenage boys. After mom had babies, these boys said she was ‘aggresive’ and took matters into their own hands. All of her piglets scattered and Rooter was the only one who could be saved. Baby pigs require around the clock care, eating approximately every thirty mins in the first few days. Our staff, director and voluneers, all taking turns ensuring Rooter’s nutrition and love. It was no small feat and came with sacrafice of sleep for all of us hear on the farm until he was able to sleep through the night. Now, Rooter has become a Celestial Farms favorite as people book appointments to come see how big he has gotten! You can often find him roaming the playgrounds looking for a treat or naping in the sunshine. He even sneaks back into the house when he needs a people break.
