He came to us at about one week old, unable to properly use his hind legs to walk or stand due to a possible spinal injury.

Lola & Bindi
Lola & Bindi (pigs) Arrived 16th June 2018 Back in June we were contacted by the staff at a Perth pound. Two pigs had been impounded and the owner did not want to collect them. With nowhere to send the pics, the ranger asked if we could provide the abandoned pigs with home. As we’d just about completed our pig extension on ‘Pig Paradise’ we were in a position to offer the girls a home. When we went to collect the girls, we noticed…
Lulu
Lulu (pig) Arrived 24th March 2018 At 3 weeks old, Lula was found on the side of a road with a fractured tibia in her left rear leg. She needed urgent medical treatment and was taken to Murdoch’s Animal Hospital. While Lula’s leg healed she had to be confined to a small space to prevent her from using her leg too much while it healed. After three weeks we increased her space in increments as her leg improved. Lula made a full recovery, running around Pig Paradise…

Would you like to help us to take care of Fred and Mali? One…

Eloise (pig) Arrived 20th November 2017 Little Eloise was discovered in somebody’s rear garden. She was collected by rangers and taken to the City of Cockburn pound where she was impounded for 11 days. She was advertised, but no owner came forward so they staff contacted us about the homeless piglet. Eloise was not alone for long, as not long after her arrival we were contacted about another piglet, around the same age. Eloise was soon joined by Camilla, though the introduction did not go as smoothly as we had…
