Abandoned Boston pig finds new home in NH

New Hampshire — A pig abandoned in Boston has found her new home in New Hampshire.

In late October of 2022, 1-year-old Clarendon and her owner went to visit a family member in Boston. When the owner left the home, they left the pig behind.

The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) took in Clarendon after being contacted by Boston Animal Control. Clarendon quickly became a favorite among staff and volunteers with her sparkling personality and playfulness, and ARL tried to find her a new home.

Now the pig has a new home with a family in New Hampshire.

This past Friday, the ARL brought Clarendon to her new home. Upon arrival, Clarendon, now named Rosie was very excited to be in her new home.

She met her new pig friends, and the family was overwhelmed with excitement to welcome this special pig to her permanent home.

“ARL has taken tremendous joy in caring for Clarendon over the past six months, she truly is an amazing pig with an infectious personality,” stated ARL Media Relations Manager Mike DeFina. “It was a wonderful moment to see her welcomed into her home and we are grateful to her new family for giving her the home she truly deserves.”
