From desperation to healing: Tabitha's storyWhen we first heard about Tabitha in the spring of 2022, she was in a dire situation. Abandoned behind a rental property in Cameron, NC, she was left trapped in a pen filled with trash and broken furniture—without food, without water, and with a massive, maggot-infested abscess on her back. Flies swarmed around her, and her suffering was heartbreaking.
Desperate to survive, Tabitha broke through the pen and damaged a neighbor’s water line just trying to find something to drink. Thankfully, that neighbor—Geretia—followed the trail and discovered the truth: Tabitha had been completely forgotten. Recognizing her need for immediate help, Geretia gave Tabitha a temporary safe space and started searching for someone who could give her the care she so badly needed. When we got the call, we didn’t hesitate. Tabitha’s resilience and gentle spirit deserved a second chance—and we were determined to give it to her. Life of comfort, mud baths, and joyToday, Tabitha is thriving. Her painful abscess is a thing of the past, and she now enjoys a life filled with love, safety, and care. With a constant supply of fresh water, nutritious meals twice a day (plus treats, of course!), and a soft bed to sleep in, Tabitha finally has the peace she never knew before.
She especially loves wandering through the woods and taking long, worry-free naps in the shade. And thanks to her resourceful past, she’s a bit of a mud hole expert—digging out the perfect wallows to keep cool in summer. We keep them topped off just for her, though her pig friends are always happy to join in. If she ever opened a spa, we’d be first in line! Tabitha’s days of suffering are over. She’s safe. She’s loved. And she’s home. Read Tabitha's rescue story on our blog. |
