One year ago, we walked onto one of the most heartbreaking properties we had ever seen. A home abandoned… and left behind were hundreds of dogs, cats, and pigs. Many had already starved or frozen to death in the bitter cold. The ones who were still alive were barely hanging on. When rescuers first discovered the horror inside that home, they immediately began feeding the survivors until a full team could be assembled. And when we arrived… we found the pigs. They were drowning in deep mud and their own waste. They had been stuck together for who knows how long feral, terrified, and inbreeding just to survive. Their bodies were sick, their eyes were hopeless, and their spirits were almost gone. We knew right then we couldn’t leave a single one behind. We worked tirelessly, for hours on end, to remove all 13 pigs from that nightmare. Another rescue stepped in and saved the dogs and cats before we arrived, and we will forever be grateful for them. Our job was to save these pigs every last one. The reality was devastating: each pig was extremely ill from living in filth for so long. But with our incredible vet team, 11 of them pulled through. Two little boys were so severely in**ed and suffering that we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let them go peacefully. They had known nothing but pain in life, and we made sure their passing was surrounded by love. But today one year later we celebrate the 11 lives who survived. Happy, healthy, thriving pigs who root in fresh hay, sunbathe, play, and finally know what safety feels like. They have a family. They have a home. They have peace. And we couldn’t have done any of this without you. Your support, your donations, your prayers they made this rescue possible. Happy 1 Year Anniversary to our piggy crew. We are so proud of you, so grateful for you, and so honored to give you the life you always deserved. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in them.
