Roxanne the Pig’s Highway Escape | Wichita News

A daring escape turned heartwarming rescue when Roxanne, a spirited young Yorkshire pig, jumped off a highway truck in Kansas City—only to be saved by a pig-savvy animal control officer and the Kansas City Pig Rescue Network. With no paid staff, this all-volunteer group has helped hundreds of intelligent pigs find loving homes, often footing their own bills to get them fixed and placed. Roxanne, who suffered only a displaced rib, is already thriving—eating, playing, and napping like a happy piglet. Known for their cleverness (comparable to a 3- or 4-year-old human), pigs like Roxanne can even crack locks. The rescue urgently needs adopters, volunteers, and donations to keep helping these misunderstood animals. Visit their website to meet Roxanne and others at upcoming farm events in July—or find the perfect pig family for your home.
