Two pigs who were saved from slaughter are looking for their forever home.

Pot belly mix Dizzy and Loco are 10-year-old sisters who were rescued as piglets.

The pair have resided at St Francis Animal Welfare in Fair Oak since then but are now looking for a pigsty to call their own.

The charity is downsizing and focusing on domestic animals so these ‘characterful siblings’ need a caring owner.

A spokesperson from St Francis said: “A little nervous at first, but once they get to know you the girls will come out of their shell and can be quite affectionate.

“They are used to a peaceful home so ideally looking for similar."

They added: “A nice warm dry shelter is essential along with access to both a hard standing and soft grass area.

“Be prepared though, they will dig this up with their rooting.

“Be aware these girls weigh in at approximately 180kg each so please don’t expect to pick them up for cuddles.

“Could you be the retirement home these two loving girls are looking for?”

The charity confirmed the sisters are clear of worms and have regular health checks.

Loco has developed arthritis in her front leg and she has a daily dose of Metacam that will need to be continued at her new home.
