Notes from Midwest Pet Refuge

These three young boars were born right here at our rescue after we took in their moms from a large hoarding case. Their start to life wasn’t ideal, and they didn’t get much early socialization — but what they did get is a clean slate, gentle temperaments, and the chance to grow up safe. They’re shy boys who are still learning that people can be trusted, but they’ve shown us over and over that they have zero aggression. Even during nail trims, they’re absolute gentlemen. With patient handling, a calm home, and consistent routine, we know these boys will blossom into confident, curious companions. They’re ready for someone who sees their potential and is excited to help them thrive. If you’ve got a soft spot for the underdogs and love watching timid animals come out of their shells, these three sweet brothers might be the perfect match. Will be adopted in same sex pairs or trios. Please complete a small pet application on our website. If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application. Completing a questionnaire on any other website does not submit an application to our rescue, you must complete one on our website. If you have any questions, please email us at adopt@MidwestPetRefuge.com
