Sylvester (Sly)

Sylvester "Sly" is an 800-pound ginger giant who's mastered the art of pumpkin demolition and perfected the subtle communication of tipping water bowls when his wallow needs a refresh. This gorgeous Duroc hog may be getting on in years (complete with creaky knees that earn him daily peanut butter-wrapped meds), but he's still got the soul of a mischievous troublemaker who insists he's Irish every March and never met an apple he couldn't charm his way into receiving. After bouncing through four homes with his three sisters, Sly finally landed at his forever sanctuary where his gentle giant personality and scratch-requesting expertise make him absolutely irresistible.

A gentle giant who acts as a 'demolition expert' when it comes to food, particularly pumpkins which he crushes with brute jaw strength in a feeding frenzy. He's an old soul who enjoys his daily routines including tipping water bowls to signal when his wallow needs refilling. Sylvester loves scratching against people and has a charming way of asking for what he wants. He takes his anti-inflammatory medication mixed with peanut butter and enjoys treats like crisp apples. Despite his impressive size, he's described as adorable and has a playful side, even claiming to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
