Fidget came to us with his brother Flip and has never once sat still long enough to explain the name. He is the first to investigate anything new on the property, the first to arrive at feeding time, and the first to make his presence known when something is not to his liking. He is a lot, and we would not have it any other way.

Flip and his brother Fidget have been together since before they came to us and have not been apart a day since. Where Fidget charges ahead, Flip follows at a measured pace -- curious about everything, committed to nothing until Fidget confirms it is safe. It is a system, and it works.

Odette came to us alongside her brother Opal, rescued from conditions no living thing should endure. She fought hard, and we fought alongside her. In the end it wasn't enough -- but her brother made it, and he carries her with him every day. Odette never had a safe home. She came close.

Opal was rescued from a drug house where conditions were not fit for any living thing. He came in with his sister Odette, but Odette did not survive. Opal did. He was guarded at first, and we gave him all the time he needed. He is still working on trusting the world -- but he gets a little braver every day, and every day it shows.

Peter Porker is a house pig who knows it and lives accordingly. He has a schedule, a routine, and strong feelings about both. He is one of the longest-tenured residents at Soft Landing and carries himself with the confidence of an animal who has never once been told he does not belong indoors.
