Lotsa Heart Animal Sanctuary

Lotsa Heart Animal Sanctuary We're a small, charitable, 501c3 non-profit focused on rescuing and rehabilitating farm animals.

Here at Lotsa Heart Animal Sanctuary, compassionate care for ALL animals is the cornerstone of our mission. Our rescue animals come in all shapes and sizes, from companion animals such as cats, to farm animals, including pot belly pigs, donkeys, and mules. Our goal is to ensure that these animals get the best care available-for a lifetime. We want to provide them with a loving, forever home where

they can be happy, healthy, and safe. We aim to treat each animal that comes into our care with the patience, love, and respect that they deserve, so they can enjoy a lifetime of good health and know how much they are valued and loved. We aim to offer state-of-the-art care, promote regular preventative care for our animals, and an enjoyable, positive atmosphere for both pets and people.

The animals are glad to be getting some sunshine again. They can sense spring is on the way!

A proper snow day is a rare sight in Aiken, but the donkey's sure loved it!

The pigs on the other hand, not so much - they are looking forward to next week when it's safe to come out from under the covers.

🌟 Giving Tuesday: Help Us Change Their Story 🌟

Every animal at Lotsa Heart Animal Sanctuary has a story—of struggle, survival, and triumph. Thanks to your kindness, these incredible animals now have a forever home filled with love and care. This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for your support to continue our mission of compassion. ❤️

✨ Meet Katniss
Once frail and abandoned, Katniss has overcome incredible challenges. Battling serious health issues, she defied the odds and found her way to us. Now, she’s thriving—spirited, strong, and a true survivor who reminds us every day why this work matters. Learn more about Katniss: https://www.lotsaheart.org/animal/katniss/

✨ Meet Gidget
Gidget was less than a year old when she found her way to us—blind in one eye and facing a heartbreaking future being advertised as dog meat. Gidget’s story could have ended far too soon. But today, she’s a vibrant, playful pig who knows nothing but love, safety, and joy.
Learn More about Gidget: https://www.lotsaheart.org/animal/gidget/

✨ Meet Peanut
Our wild little mini mule, Peanut, arrived unhandled and untouchable. Trust was a hard-earned gift, but now he greets us with kisses, eagerly accepts treats, and even allows us to pick his hooves at liberty—no halters, just trust. His transformation is a testament to the power of patience and love.

These incredible animals—and so many more—rely on us every day for food, medical care, and love. And we rely on you to make it possible. Your support ensures these animals continue to thrive and gives us the ability to rescue even more in need.

This year, like so many others, has brought unexpected challenges. With rising costs for food, medical supplies, and essential care, we’re facing increasing financial pressure. Our animals are thriving, but we could do so much more with your support. With additional donations, we can continue rescuing animals like Katniss, Gidget, and Peanut, provide for their medical needs, and ensure they have all the hay, food, and shelter they need—for a lifetime.

This Giving Tuesday, join us in changing their stories and transforming heartbreak into hope. Your donation creates a life-changing impact for animals like Katniss, Gidget, and Peanut. With your support, we can create lasting change and ensure every animal here has a better tomorrow.

Help us write the next chapter in their story—donate today. ❤️

Speaking of Gotcha Days, we can't forget to mention our incredible donkeys and mules, who also made the journey with us! 🎉🫏🐴

One of my favorite memories is their very first run in the pasture—it was such a joyful sight! Chloe, who had always been so shy, finally came out of her shell and played with the others, showing her sweet, playful side for the first time. 💖

Cricket, of course, we suspect might just be the neighborhood alarm clock with his enthusiastic brays to greet the morning (and breakfast)! And Papi is the leader of this wonderful little herd, guiding them all with his calm, protective presence. They’re truly a charming group of characters who bring so much heart to the sanctuary.

Here’s to celebrating all the joy and love they bring us. Happy Gotcha Day, Chloe, Cricket, Papi, and the whole adorable gang! 🎉

Happy Gotcha Day to our wonderful Smiley (aka Mr. Smiley Brightside)! 🎉🐷

We’ve been so lucky to have you as part of our family, and every day with you is a reminder of the joy and love you bring to our lives. Your sweet snorts, playful trots, and bright, smiling face light up the sanctuary and make us all smile right along with you. 💖

This is one of my favorite selfies of Smiley—it's what helped coin his name! It's hard to believe it’s been 5 years since we made the trek down to SC to begin our adventures together. Here’s to celebrating you today and always, Smiley Pig! You’re truly one of a kind, and we’re so grateful to have you in our hearts and home. Happy Gotcha Day, Smiley Brightside! 🌟🎂
