A male pig rescued from a Chimacum residence in early February is showing signs of recovery according to Center Valley Animal Rescue.
According to a recent announcement from the Center Valley Animal Rescue, the hog — known as Clarice — was found in the remnants of an old building foundation and appeared to be sick, malnourished and in need of veterinary care.
Volunteers estimated Clarice’s weight at about 400 to 450 pounds and said the porker did not have any bedding material, water or food around it at the time of recovery.
Officers were able to extract the pig from the pit by strapping it down to a wooden pallet and raising it up using a tractor provided by one of the officers.
In the days following Clarice’s rescue, volunteers provided the hog with food, water and medicine. Officials with Center Valley Animal Rescue say the pig’s weight has climbed to a “respectable 700 pounds” and he’s expected to continue packing on the pounds.
