She was sold to them as a miniature pig, but has grown outside of the shires limits for a pet pig.

Concerned the council will find out about her and take her away; her carers have made the difficult decision to rehome their dear…

Four Handsome Drakes in Need of a Home
Location: Perth, WA These four gorgeous boys currently live on a property in Mariginiup, where they were born and raised. Regretfully their owner needs to rehome them as they are giving their female counterparts a bit of a hard time.

Gwyneth Poultry (Gwenny) - Rainbow Bridge
Gwenny (White Lace hen) . Arrived 4 June 2015 UPDATE: 7 June 2016. Gwenny was found suddenly very ‘flat’, not eating, tail down and inactive. She was taken to avian specialist who found very large, firm and impacted uterus – probably a tumour. Gwenny was humanely euthanised.

We hope…
