Meet Chuck, Animal Ambassador

Last Updated 10/19/2023Posted in Ambassadors, Homepage


Meet Chuck! Chuck became an official Animal Ambassador on September 1, 2023. Chuck came to us from a very loving home. Unfortunately, there were some big changes in their schedule and they felt the best thing for Chuck would be for him to come to the Ranch. 

We are so happy that everything worked out because he is an absolute delight! Chuck knows his name and will eagerly come when he is called (or really as soon as he hears the gate open).  He loves having his belly rubbed, hanging out in his mud pit and eating blueberries! He loves his enrichment feeders and will spend a long time pushing them around making sure to get all the goodies out.

Chuck spends his day foraging for all the goodies he can find and can often be found hanging out with his best turkey friends, Bert and Ernie. 

We are excited to have Chuck as an ambassador for all pot bellied pigs. He helps us showcase what a happy, healthy and loved pig looks like!
