Giving Lucky and Friends a Second Chance

A Fresh Start for the Mini Pigs

Four months ago, we rescued a group of mini pigs from appalling conditions. Lucky, along with Scarlett, Susi, Schorsch, Theodor, Peter, and Eddi, were found huddled together in a filthy, cramped corner of a slaughterhouse, surrounded by piles of rotting waste. They were malnourished, weak, and suffering from visible wounds. It was heartbreaking to see how they had been treated, abandoned and left to suffer.

Today, Lucky and the other pigs are thriving in a safe, loving environment with space to roam and proper care. Their wounds have healed, their strength has returned, and they are finally experiencing the kindness they deserve.

We’re also happy to share that Peter, Theodor, and Schorsch have been neutered and are doing well. Despite the heat, they handled the recovery beautifully, with the help of heat lamps at night for extra comfort. Now, they are all as healthy and happy as pigs can be! 🐽

If you’d like to help us continue giving these adorable creatures and others like them a safe home, please consider adopting Lucky Tonizka. Your support makes all the difference.
