Maxwell is one of six piglets we welcomed from a hoarding case in Oregon. 250 pigs were left without food and water, resorting to cannibalizing each other out of sheer desperation. Out of that horror, Maxwell’s mom managed to survive with her six babies on board. After her rescue, she gave birth. We offered to take in her and her piglets but another rescue insisted on taking the mother. So we welcomed her six piglets. That was in 2019. Today, Maxwell loves to explore their pasture and spend time with their best friend and sister, Ophelia.

Maxwell is an intersex animal! The were born with both female and male reproductive organs. Maxwell was neutered and spayed. Maxwell exhibits more male characteristics.
