Kiwi came to us on 9/19/17 because his owner was moving and couldn’t bring him along. Hawkeye came to us on 12/4/17 from a shelter that didn’t have space for him. They met with their foster and became fast friends!

Fostered by Sophie in Natick, MA.

UPDATE 1/5/18:

“Kiwi and Hawkeye are both sweet piggies.

Kiwi can be very nervous and reserved. He definitely needs someone who will take things slowly and calmly (no loud noises or sudden movements). Once he feels comfortable, he popcorns and runs all around. He doesn’t mind sitting in your lap and being pet; bonus if you give him some cilantro to munch on (his favorite)! He’s a really sweet boy who’s blossomed so much in just the 3 months I’ve been fostering him.

Hawkeye is definitely the sassier one. He has no fear and is the first one to beg for dinner every night. He likes to explore but will happily sit in my lap if there are veggies involved. Together, they’re a super adorable duo! ”

UPDATE 2/6/18:

“They’re doing great! They definitely rely on each other now. Both piggies greet me when I come home and wheek for veggies at dinnertime. Kiwi is so cuddly; he’ll sit in my lap for ages. I like doing homework on my bed with him. Everyone who meets him falls in love! He does really really well in calm environments and has recently started to happily sit with my siblings (aged 6 & 8) too. He definitely relies on me in scary situations and will come to me when he’s nervous, which is a huge improvement from before. Hawkeye (I’ve affectionately started to call him Hawk-pig) is still quite sassy. He’ll cuddle if there’s food involved but otherwise he loves to explore. He’s not shy at all and will run up to you the second he hears the treat bag. He loves almost every veggie (including banana peel!) which is amazing since Kiwi has been trying everything Hawkeye eats. They’re both super sweet and cute together. ”
