Pigs : Farm Pigs
Happy Trails usually has an assortment of farm pigs available for adoption. Of this assortment there are males and females and assorted breeds and ages.
Fencing for farm pigs MUST be very strong. The recommended fencing for farm pigs consists of hog panels lined with railroad ties. The combination of hog panels and railroad ties will help prevent the pigs from rooting under it. The farm pigs must have a very large outdoor area for daily exercise, access to adequate shelter, with fresh, dry bedding and ample water at all times. Farm pigs must also have dry areas in addition to mud. Mud is necessary for cooling, sun-block and insect replellent.
All farm pigs adopted from Happy Trails must be adopted in pairs or adopted to homes that already have a companion animal.

About Rosebud
Rosebud came to us from Cleveland. She had been bought as a gift for somebody for Christmas. A farm pig is definitely not a good house pet in the city. This adorable girl is very social and loves attention. She gets along with everybody that she meets. Rosebud is looking for her forever home where she can be a large outdoor pet. She is such a sweetheart and would make a great addition to somebody's home.

About Practical and Willow
Practical came from a neglect situation with three of our other farm pigs up for adoption. Temple, Practical, Fifer and Fiddler are all like family and ideally we would prefer that each of them leaves with at least one of their friends. When Practical came to Happy Trails, he had to be treated for an upper respiratory infection and also had to have ear tags removed. He is the baby of the four and a very nice little pig.
Update: Cal has become great friends with Willow. Willow is a wonderful resident at Happy Trails. She can leap tall fences and was the reason for some recent updates! We would love for Willow and Cal to be adopted together. This lovely pair can be your charge and will offer many special moments to cherish.

About Celita and Cisco
Cisco (male) and his friend Celita (female) are pretty pink farm pigs. They came from a situation of severe neglect in Portage County. This pair was seized from their owner when they were approximately four months old. They had been nailed shut in a makeshift pen, left to wallow in their own waste. Deprived of water for so long and they were dehydrated, filthy and scared, We whisked them away to Happy Trails and supplied them with their first fresh water in ages. A terrible thing happened to Cisco. His brain swelled and he went into convulsions for a large part of his first day. We were afraid we would lose him. The vet stayed to help Cisco and we all saw him through his trauma. Amazingly, he has not one side effect or disability. Cisco and Celita are two of the friendliest and sweetest pigs you will ever meet. If you simply want a few new 1,000 lb family members, then consider adopting Cisco and Celita!

About Mona Lisa and Garfunkle
Mona Lisa and Garfunkle became friends once they met at Happy Trails. It was a love match, so how do you separate them? The answer — you don’t! Mona Lisa was purchased during an undercover investigation into hideous animal cruelty at a livestock farm in Medina County in 2009. As a small pig, she had been thrown over a fence by her owner. Picked up by her back leg, she was heaved over the rail and landed on the hard concrete. This happened three more times in a row. the last time she hit her head on a post and got a hematoma behind her ear. The rescue worker bought her to use as evidence in the cruelty case. Little Mona Lisa’s life was worth $5. Garfunkle came from a different rescue. He was the runt of the litter. A man was raising two pigs to be used for meat. However, he kept the pigs in horrific conditions. The humane officer stopped to investigate the situation and left a note to contact her when the owner wasn’t home. When she returned the following week, Garfunkle’s friend was gone — butchered right in front of him to be used for a barbeque. After a great deal of discussion about how thin Garfunkle was and how there was no meat on his bones, the owner agreed to surrender the pig to the humane officer. Luckily Garfunkle ended up at Happy Trails, and now he gets to live happily ever after.

About Amelia
Amelia is a one-year-old pig who has been named “Amelia” for Amelia Earhart, the daring woman aviator from the 1930s. This Amelia came from a university testing center where she spent four months alone in a building basement. At Happy Trails, Amelia is separate, but next to other pigs until she gets used to other animals.
“When she came, all she wanted to do way lay out in the sun,” Fisher said. So much so that Amelia started getting a sunburn. Now, Fisher said, she gets sprayed with sunscreen lotion. “That’s about SPF 50 on her right now,” Fisher said. (recordpub.net, October, 2011)
