The MSPCA said seven pigs were surrendered to them from a home in Plainfield, where the owner had more animals than they were able to care for.

"Because of their previous situation, the pigs are a little shy but we've been working to socialize them over the last few weeks," said Rachel Navarro, the equine and farm animal assistant manager at Nevins Farm.
