The Three Little Pigs
It all started with a piglet named Matilda. We loved her to the moon and back and we did what any good pig parent did: researched with others who knew potbelly pigs, read up, found a VeryGoodVet and took her in to get spayed. Unfortunately potbelly pigs sometimes have very bad reactions to anesthesia and despite the VeryGoodVet’s very best efforts, Tilly died. It was like the air and light left our world. We missed our Tilly every day. Then when the hole in our lives grew bigger than the hole in our hearts, we decided to adopt instead.
We found a mother and two daughters in need of a rehome and they came to us on March 25, 2018. We were so happy when we got Momma, Bear and SweetPea. They were terrified, but eventually we had them demanding treats and belly rubs. What we didn't know was they came from a breeder who decided to dump them and all three were pregnant! Three little pigs became 18 pigs in the course of a month and a half! We briefly considered selling the piglets, but through our research we learned that 90% of potbelly pigs are rehomed, abandoned or worse. We knew we had to keep them. It was then we decided to become a forever home to pigs in need. Since then we have become a non-profit society in the province of BC and are working toward federal charity status. We have also grown to 34 pigs and counting, four calves, three sheep, and several kitties and pups, who now have a loving and safe forever home.
We strive to provide transport to other sanctuaries around Western Canada for all animals in need and truly believe we are #strongertogether .
