Persimmon
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). Persimmon was named by Vivi Meder as part of our piglet naming contest.
Bashful
Bashful is one of seven piglets born to mother pig, Shannon, a pig who was rescued by Deac and Nancy Slocumb (two fellow pig rescuers). Bashful was named by Deac because he always hangs out towards the back of the litter and is the shyest of the bunch.
Shannon
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! 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.
