Marshmallow needs pain relief , supplements and medicated cream. We need financial help building an all weather area to help her longterm.

Canterbury

Marshmallow our wonderful pig is having issues with one of her hooves. The walls of a hoof cracked so badly that it is causing her pain and mobility issues. The vet came out to see her and Marshmallow is now on pain medication each day to help. Her hoof wall is cracked and needs to grow out and will likely take months. Marshmallow needs pain relief along with supplements and medicated cream. For her longterm health we need to build an all weather area . We need help with her vet costs and the building costs.

About Marshmallow

Marshmallow Moonbeam Puff.

I called her Marshmallow or Mallow Puff pretty soon after seeing her photo. She looked like a Marshmallow. Her middle name Moonbeam came from her coloring and that she looks like she has one big stipe...a Moonbeam on her back.

So her full "stage" name is Marshmallow Moonbeam Puff. :)

She is as delightful as she is large. She loves sunbathing, wallowing in the bath, eating, sleeping and tummy rubs. Who doesnt!

We love her.

We were made aware of her situation in April 2021 , of her no longer being wanted by her owner and her fate was grim. After 3 trips to get her she finally got on the float and we brought her here to Canterbury Tails.

About us

We are a small family-run animal rescue in the South Island of New Zealand which is also a sanctuary for a small group of animals.

By sharing the stories of the animals we meet I hope to create awareness and show people that these "pets" are no different from the animals people eat.

Use of funds

The money will be spent on her Vet bill ($800) pain medication ($60 per month), supplements and topical cream ($60 per month ) and building materials ($2000)
