Dahlia

Dahlia

Dahlia was dropped off at our veterinarian’s office when she was only about a week old. Dahlia is a feral piglet. Dahlia’s mother had been shot and killed and Dahlia was believed to have been attacked by the hunting dogs. Dahlia would not have had a chance in the wild by herself and came to Yesahcan Sanctuary in December 2019. Dahlia will grow to be a very large pig in a short period of time. She loves humans and belly rubs. She is full of energy and has the ‘zoomies’ almost every day.

Fun Fact: Mud Bath Lovers Pigs don't have sweat glands, making it difficult for them to regulate their body temperature. To cool down, they love wallowing in mud, which helps them stay cool and protects their skin from sunburn and insect bites.
