Spent a couple hours with my favorite babies with my favorite boys. Strawberries for all! It was HOT and the boys learned it's not all fun and games at the farm. It's hard work trying to keep everyone cool and water fresh! πŸ₯΅ The horse said NOPE on the strawberry. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Here we are again, unfortunately. If you seen Charissa's live tonight and got to see all our water. Well she plugged our pump in for the horse lot, it worked for a few minutes and then nothing. So Mitch checked it out when he got home and it seems that it had better days. We hate asking for funds at anytime but we need to get a new pump now too, plus our corn and the feed.

We are asking to get as much help as possible to raise $1200 for feed and corn and an additional $140 for the pump below. Please help if you're able too or please share the post to get it out.

Do pigs not get the short end of the stick at every turn? I've briefly questioned finding my love for them.

They're one of the most intelligent, emotional animals there is. They feel all the feels. Their legs are too short, they can't defend themselves, cool themselves, or even behave themselves if they're not trained and well taken care of.

Every pig here has a name and a story. Most were pets that someone was not prepared for or responsible with.

70ish.......can you imagine? 70 spoiled pigs, with the intelligence, self care, and emotions of a toddler? Plus a horse, couple donkeys, couple mini horses, a mini donkey, turkey lurkey with a broken leg, and all the damn dogs and cats. THANK GOD we no longer have ducks and geese!!

And more requests daily that are so hard to even look at.

Charissa Mueller and Mitch Mueller do this day in and day out. With VERY LITTLE help.

Pray for us, the weather, the food bill, the flies, heat, the list just goes on and on.........πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Bring on the coooool rain and solid mud, maybe it'll help the fliesπŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

So yesterday when I went back to check the hose I'd put in the wallow, Douglas had drug the hose into their house. Wrapped all around him, underneath him, and having a nice cool nap. House has a wood floor and bedding of straw that this Mister added 2 inches of standing water to! He put up a great argument to even get off the hose and give it to me. Mom and Aunt Jenn could only laugh, while Dad was NOT one bit amused πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ this guy keeps everyone on their toes!! Sure wish I'd have had the camera ready!

Our Story

Betsy's Barn Pig Rescue is a 501c3 organization operating as a non profit organization specifically dedicated to promoting and supporting the rescue & care of mini pigs and other farm animals by providing the compassion, commitment and companionship they deserve. Like many others, one day at a local fair I bought a pot belly piglet because she was cute. She was feisty and did not want anything to do with human interaction, except for the dachshund, Brandi, who thought it was her baby. We named her Betsy. Everyday, was a new adventure with her learning, laughing, and loving. We soon decided we wanted to help out more so we decided to adopt. That’s when Bootsy and W***y came into our lives. And I guess you can say this is how we got started. Knowing the need for a place for unwanted animals, not just mini pigs, even though that is our main focus.

Our mission is to provide education to the public on humane treatment of animals, rehabilitate those that are neglected or abused, and re-home those that are adoptable. To provide a place of refuge for those animals in need.

We are always in need for volunteers to come and socialize with our residents, help with barn duties, and help with projects. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out!
