A Little Update from Our Pig Rescue

Some of you may remember the nine pigs we rescued from terrible conditions. They arrived needing safety, care, and time to heal. We are so grateful that they now have the chance to live the lives they deserve.

We recently received an urgent request to take in two miniature pigs, Gustl, the darker one, and Sepp. They are seven-year-old brothers, and only Sepp was castrated.

Sadly, their owner recently passed away, and now the two brothers are facing an uncertain future. Their family is desperately looking for a safe place for them, hoping they can find a new home as soon as possible.

We know how important it is for them to stay together and have a safe, loving place to call home. So when we heard their story, we knew we had to help.

But our rescue work doesn’t stop there. We have many new animals coming into our care, and with every rescue come significant veterinary bills, medication, food, and ongoing care expenses. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us give these animals the safe and peaceful life they should have had all along.

And perhaps one of the kindest things we can do for pigs and for animals everywhere is to look at our own choices, too. Choosing plant based meals and moving toward a vegan lifestyle is one meaningful way to help reduce the demand that leads animals into the systems we are working so hard to rescue them from.

Thank you for caring, for supporting our work, and for giving these beautiful animals a second chance. 🐷🤍

If you would like to support the rescued pigs and the animals still waiting for help, every contribution makes a difference.
