Bertha was placed into our care through Pigsburgh Squealers Pig Rescue.

She makes her home with us now where she is safe, loved, and has a wonderful friend in fellow pig Fern. (Learn more about his history: Rough Life No More: Bertha the Pig Finds a Forever Home)

Charlotte is an absolute sweetheart and very kind natured. Since we rescued her from a location where she was kept with two other male pigs, we are currently waiting to see if she is pregnant.

There is always someone that likes to push the boundaries and rules in any group, and that would be Jimmy. He is one of the sweetest most happy pigs we have ever met, but he uses that sweetness to distract you so he can get into some playful mischief such as pushing gates open and knocking down food containers. No matter because we love him anyway! (Learn more about his history: From Walkersville, MD: It’s Jimmy the Pig!)

You could say a little bit of destiny brought Dude (or The Dude as we like to call him) to Piggins and Banks. You see, he is from Pasadena, MD where two of our founding team members grew up (Aaron and Joshua Riddle). He is one of the absolutely sweetest pigs you will ever meet. His owner felt he would be happier in the country amongst other pigs rather than stuck in a community without a friend. We love having Dude here with us!

Since coming to Piggins and Banks he has become one of the lead pigs, and is in heaven with lots of room to run, root, and socialize.

Mick is the biggest pig here at Piggins and Banks, partly because of his type of breed which falls on the large side (Kune Kune). He may look intimidating with his dark color and tusks, but he is a gentle giant and loves any attention and a good ear scratch.
