Pig Paradise: KCK Couple's Rescue Sanctuary

0:00Imagine turning your crib into a full-on pig paradise. In Wyandotte County, Emily McLeod and her husband Dave Jennings share their home with six rescue pigs, Polly, Gerald, Henry, Elvis, Maxwell, and Walter. These hefty oinkers each tip the scales at over 100 pounds, with one rolling in a wheelchair and another hopping on three legs. It all kicked off with a midnight emergency email that plugged them into a local rescue network. It started as helping one pig snowballed into adopting the whole squad, giving them the royal treatment they never had. Locals are buzzing about this porcupay family, especially since hundreds of pigs in the Kansas City area face abuse and neglect every year. Dave says his crew lives large now, chilling with air conditioning in summer, and huddling by the wood stove come winter. The network has saved over 600 pigs metro-wide, pulling them from tough spots, and heads up. There's no such thing as a teacup pig, they all grow into big boys and girls.
