It has been a tough week here at the sanctuary. It’s hard to cope with the sudden loss of our sweet Sara. 😔
Sara began to struggle with getting up and walking over the past year. I had to help her get up a few times a day, but once she was on her feet, she could walk, although unsteady. Her appetite and strength had been declining recently though and I came home from work to find she had passed away. Sara was with us for almost 8 years, and her sisters, Winnie & Mary are here and their presence will help keep the memory of Sara alive. 💙
Backstory about Sara:
I had rescued the sisters from a guy who had them listed (along with their siblings) on Craigslist in 2018. They were being sold as thanksgiving centerpieces and the mom had already been slaughtered. 😢
There were close to a dozen piglets in the bunch and I found another rescue to take the boys and I adopted the sisters. Sara was the runt of the litter for sure! She made up for that as she got older and she grew to be larger than her sisters! I’m so thankful we saved them from that horrific fate that day. There is definitely a void here since she has passed and we will continue to miss her, but I hope she’s running and playing again. 🌈 🐽
