Someone must know where friendly Scottie is. Please help us to find him by sharing this post widely.

We had just approved an ideal 12-acre home for this lovely Kunekune X (with two Kune girls for company) when he went missing from his foster home.

We pray that recently neutered Scottie is enjoying animal company on an adjoining rural property or exploring a bush area in the vicinity. He's a large animal to be on the loose, so someone must have seen this blended ginger and black pig. Flyers have been delivered to letterboxes, but we have had no responses.

If Scottie's on your land, or you have sighted him on rural East Coast Rd, Bawden Rd, Wilson Rd, Follies Way... or anywhere else, please let us know, so his new parents can welcome him to their lovely orchard area.

There is the possibility our boy has fallen into hands where he could be viewed as food. If anyone you know (in any wider Auckland location) has suddenly come into possession of a pig fitting Scottie's description, please contact us and alert them that he is a much loved companion animal who needs to immediately be returned to us.

We can be contacted here, by private message, by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or please leave a message on our landline number at (09) 479 1748.

See our previous two posts for more information, photos and a video of Scottie. Thank you.

Heartbreakingly, Scottie's family abandoned him when they left their property... and when new occupants moved in, one of them was planning to slaughter and eat this lovely boy. Fortunately the housemate saw things differently, so Scottie was rescued.

He is a 15-month-old, ginger and black Kunekune X Captain Cooker pig. We have now had him neutered, vaccinated and wormed in preparation for his new home. After his booster shot, Scottie will be ready for immediate adoption.

Pigs are as smart as dogs and 3-year-old humans and they can live for 15-20 years. Scottie is likely to root up the soil with his snout and he will need grass, shelter, daily food and water, a wallow to bathe in and sturdy fencing to keep him contained.

Applicants must be committed to caring for Scottie as a companion animal for the length of his natural lifespan. We are looking for an animal sanctuary or a rural home where he will enjoy human (and/or animal) interaction and have a happy and comfortable life. We are looking forward to meeting his new family, following his progress and visiting him 2-3 times per year.

If you are able to offer Scottie a peaceful life where he is loved and appreciated for simply being himself, we look forward to your application at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Scottie is currently living in Auckland.
Thank you.

Please come back on Thursday to see why we are seeking a home for this lovely young man... where he can safely live out the full 15-20 year length of his natural lifespan.

Introducing healthy, handsome Sam. This big boy has been in our care for several months while recovering from mange, a maggot infestation, dehydration and starvation.

When he has lost a bit of weight and has become accustomed to outdoor temperatures, he will soon be going to a private home to safely live out his natural lifespan.

Please apply to adopt a recovered hedgehog if you are able to offer a fully fenced environment with ground level fencing and gates, no slug, snail or rodent poisons, and no animals who would harm him/her. You will need to provide appropriate hedgehog housing and daily food/water. Thank you.

We look forward to hearing from you at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
