💚🐷 Meet Moss!! 🐷💚
Back in March, we shared that we had committed to helping with the Blue Ridge Liberation rescue effort in North Carolina, where more than 160 pigs were removed from a heartbreaking situation of neglect and hoarding. Sanctuaries across multiple states came together to ensure every pig had a safe place to land.
We had planned to welcome pigs here, but after the loss of Saoirse, everything paused for a time. We are deeply grateful to the incredible team who continued caring for the Blue Ridge pigs with patience, compassion, and dedication while we found our footing again.
Now, after months of coordination and care, Moss is finally home! 💚
A few days after arriving, Moss decided people might not be so bad after all. He is estimated to be around 6–8 years old, and despite everything he has been through, he is social, curious, and always ready to come over for snacks. Moss is a busy guy with places to go, things to explore, and strong opinions about how things should be done 😅
Moss also has mulefoot, the same condition as Nori. Instead of a split hoof, mulefoot pigs have fused hooves, which means he may need a little extra monitoring and hoof care—but it does not stop him from living a full, happy life.
Our hope is that, with time, Moss and Fern may be able to integrate with Nori. We will move slowly, observe carefully, and let them guide us on what feels right.
Welcome home, Moss 💚🐷
Meet Moss!!💚🐷
Back in March, we shared that we had committed to helping with the Blue Ridge Liberation rescue effort in North Carolina, where more than 160 pigs were removed from a heartbreaking neglect and hoarding situation. Sanctuaries across multiple states came together to make sure these pigs had somewhere safe to land.
We had planned to welcome pigs here, but shortly after committing, we lost Saoirse, and everything felt like it came to a stop for a while. We are so grateful to the team caring for the Blue Ridge pigs, who continued showing up for them with patience, understanding, and so much care while we found our footing again. Now, after so much coordination, waiting, and planning, Moss is finally home!
A few days after his arrival, Moss decided people might not be so bad. He is estimated to be around 6 - 8 years old, and despite everything he has been through, he has been social, curious, and very willing to come up for snacks. Moss is a busy guy. He has places to be, things to investigate, routines to learn, and opinions to share. He wants to be involved, he wants to know what is going on, and he definitely has a bit of “I would like to be in charge here” energy 😅
Moss also has mulefoot, the same condition Nori has. Instead of the typical split hoof, mulefoot pigs have fused hooves, which means he may need a little extra monitoring and hoof care, but it certainly does not stop him from living a happy, full life.
Our hope is that, with time, Moss and Fern may be able to integrate with Nori. We’ll move slowly, watch everyone closely, and let them tell us what works for them.
Welcome home, Moss 💚
