Oliver is the second largest of the big boys, and while sweet, he can be somewhat of a troublemaker. We’re pretty sure his love language is light bullying and biting. Oliver likes to nip at fingers, legs, shoes… anything really. He’s easy to tell apart from the other big boys because he’s the only one out of the four of them with ears that stand straight up.
In late 2025, a Critter Creek member found Oliver in the woods, unable to stand. After hours of speaking with the team and our veterinary team, we concluded that Oliver would need neuropathic pain medication for the rest of his life. Oliver-type pigs are bred to get as large as possible in 6 months for human consumption. This has caused Oliver and our other larger pigs to experience neuropathic pain as they age.
Your sponsorship allows us to give Oliver the life he deserves and funds his veterinary care, feed, medication, and more. With your annual sponsorship, you’ll receive a digital and print certificate of “adoption,” and quarterly email updates with exclusive photos. In addition, your name will be displayed on Oliver’s page, acknowledging you as her sponsor.
Sponsorships are not only a great way to support the rescued residents of Critter Creek, but they also make great gifts!
