Garden centre to adopt 2 little pigs

Young McDonnell who has a “petting farm” has adopted two little piggies who needed a home.

Garden centre owner Nathan McDonnell said last night he was confident that Tia and Tamara, the Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs, would settle in well to their new home alongside his Ballyseedy Garden Centre outlet in Cork.

Transport arrangements are being finalised in the hope that the sisters, who were put up for adoption by the Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) last week, will be able to move to Carrigtwohill next week.
