From the ISPCA

Three Vietnamese Potbellied Pigs came into the care of the ISPCA National Animal Centre during the Halloween period. The pigs now named Pumpkin, Hocus and Pocus, are sensitive and intelligent animals that have had a really tough time. They came into the ISPCA’s care in a very neglected condition.
The two youngsters Hocus and Pocus (brother and sister) will soon be available for rehoming (once neutered) so if you are interested in adopting two fantastic characters please email info@ispca.ie.
