Potbelly Pig
Rescued September 15, 2024
4 months old
Birthday: July 5, 2024
Persimmon is one of seven piglets born to mother pig, Shannon, a pig who was rescued by Deac and Nancy Slocumb (two fellow pig rescuers). The Slocumbs were shocked when one afternoon they discovered Shannon had given birth to a precious litter of piglets (her pregnancy went un-noticed even by a vet)! When we learned about the Slocumb’s “piglet plight” we decided to help and offered to give Shannon and her seven piglets a forever home here at Piggins and Banks. Persimmon was named by Vivi Meder as part of our piglet naming contest. (Read her full story here: Mother Pig and her Piglets Given Forever Home)
