Ponyboy

Rescued by Farm Sanctuary in 2016 in Acton, CA, after animal control picked him up following his escape from a previous home. Once cleared for release, Farm Sanctuary transferred him to Sage Mountain. Ponyboy was our first resident, along with his girlfriend, Wilma Jean. Wilma had been rescued from a different situation, but as soon as they met at Farm Sanctuary, they became inseparable. They spent the next 9 years doing everything together, from breakfast dates to mudpit spa days, to watching the sunset and snuggling every night. They adored each other. Wilma unfortunately had to leave her earthly body on July 29, 2025. Ponyboy grieved her deeply, and needed time to feel and heal before he could even think about watching another sunset again. But with lots of time and love from us and the animals, Ponyboy started feeling more like himself again. While he'll never be the same without her, he now enjoys watching the sunset with the other animals, and snuggling with the other pigs. He's a perfect example of the depth of emotions that pigs can feel, just like us.

Personality: Enjoys most things and is always wagging his tail. Finds peace in watching the sunset in loving memory of Wilma, and spending time with the other pigs.
