Potbelly Pig
Rescued September 15, 2024
3 years old
Birthday: March 16, 2021
Shannon is a pig who was rescued by Deac and Nancy Slocumb (two of our biggest financial supporters). The Slocumbs were shocked when one afternoon they discovered Shannon had given birth to a precious litter of piglets! Apparently Shannon was an underweight pig and her pregnancy was hidden by the fact that it made her appear to be a normal weight. Due to their advancing years, the Slocumbs would be unable to keep the piglets as a pig’s life expectancy is 15-20 years. When we learned about their “piglet plight” we decided to help and offered to give Shannon and her seven piglets a forever home here at Piggins and Banks!
