After six months of uncertainty, a pig left abandoned in Boston now has a new home in New Hampshire, according to the Animal Rescue League of Boston.

Clarendon the pig was brought by her owner to a relative's home in Boston in October 2022, then left behind, the ARL said. ARL took her in and she immediately charmed staff with her "sparkling personality and playfulness."
