Hi Everyone 😊

Saving Snouts is a potbelly pig sanctuary located in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. My mom and dad are volunteers at Saving Snouts, the loving care that is given to each and every animal is amazing. TJ, the owner, works a full time job during the night so that she can care for the pigs during the day and evening hours.

TJ is the person who found my forever home here with my loving family.

We are in need of help. We have a wish list on Amazon where donations can be made. Saving Snouts is a 501c3 which means ALL donations are tax deductible.

Hi Everyone 😊 I received a Valentine's package from my pot belly pig lady friend Bitty. Bitty and I met during the Christmas holiday season in 2022, Oliver the Awesome Pig introduced us during a pot belly pig Christmas gift exchange ❤ Bitty sent me a pillow case with a King's crown, a gray throne with pink decorations, a back scratcher (Bitty knows how I love to have my back scratched), peppermint candies, a Pig Lady Survival Kit for my mom, some really moisturizing lotion for my skin and the most romantic Valentine's day card from Bitty asking me to be her Valentine. Thank you to Melissa Gregory for mailing this wonderful Valentine's package, Bitty isn't allowed to drive the family vehicle to the post office ❤❤❤

Many times Eric and I are asked what it's like having a potbelly pig as a house pet. This is the best answer we have. Charlie doesn't oink, he has many different grunts to let us know what he wants. Pigs love belly rubs. Charlie has a specific "fall down button " . When we rub the button while he's playing, walking, etc he lays down and enjoys his belly rub. Charlie loves it when I braid his bo**ie tussle. Charlie has selective hearing similar to an old married man. When Charlie cuddles and pushes with his bruise makers, we occasionally have bruises in the shape of Charlie's hooves. Charlie has has such a sweet devoted heart. Charlie will do anything for us, he always wants to be with us and he literally appreciates every part of being the center of our world. We love Charlie to the moon 🌙 and back ♥️

Hi everyone 😊 My very special friend, Squiggles, is ready for Halloween and needs our help. Any size donation is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. Sending snout kisses to everyone 🐽

To everyone who has been supporting Squiggles, a HUGE thank you! Squiggles is doing very well with his therapy. Squiggles is up and mobile again, using his wheelchair. After all his hard work Squiggles is incredibly tired at the end of the day. The great news is that Squiggles will grow stronger the more he is up moving!

An important part of Squiggles’ healing and strengthening includes his diet of pot belly pig food that is high in protein, as well as giving him daily probiotic supplements, as well as a red cell supplement. Tammy purchases Squiggles’ food and supplements at Tractor Supply on a very frequent basis to keep up with Squiggles nutritional needs.

Let’s help Tammy by sending her Tractor Supply egift cards!

Hello Wonderful Squiggles Supporters
Squiggles, as some of you may know, is slowly getting better. He has started a new treatment which includes a supplement as well as Vitamin B shots weekly. Because he is responding well, his vet would like to continue these weekly Vitamin B injections weekly. However, due to Squiggles being immobile due to his weakness Squiggles has developed sores on his joints. His muscles have spasticity, which makes it extremely difficult and painful for Squiggles to walk. Our vet has recommended that I purchase a sling/wheelchair device for Squiggles. This device will support his body allowing Squiggles to stretch his muscles which will help him regain strength and mobility. Our vet has also prescribed Squiggles to get physical therapy and laser therapy at by a licensed provider. In the interim, Tammy has stated doing hydrotherapy at home in the bathtub, which Squiggles loves!
Tammy has also started a joint supplement. The sling/wheelchair device, with the addition to replacing the straw/hay with a specialized orthopedic bed will stop the process of muscle loss due to inactivity.

The sling/wheelchair device, supplements, weekly Vitamin B injections, orthopedic bed, physical therapy, laser therapy, and ongoing vet care that Squiggles requires to continue healing are essential to Squiggles. These interventions do come with a high price.

These Are Some Of The Medical Costs That Donations Will Be Used For
Sling/wheelchair $175 plus shipping
Orthopedic bed $ 65 plus shipping
Weekly Vitamin B shot $ 30, will need ongoing
Laser therapy $ 58 per session, will need 1 session per week for 8 weeks
Physical Therapy $ 40 per session, will need 1 session per week for 8 weeks
Outstanding Vet Bill $2,050

A donation of any size is GREATLY appreciated and MUCH needed.

**UPDATE*** 9/17/2023

Hi Everyone.. Tammy (Squiggle's mom) while I had the chance I wanted to bring everyone up-to-speed on his condition....

As everyone knows a week or so ago(sorry I can't keep track of dates and time anymore) There was a change in meds and adding of the vitamin b12 shot to give him more energy and get him mobile again.

After speaking to vet in a 1 hour phone call yesterday morning.... He advised me that he's not progressing well enough... he wanted him to be moving freely at this point and he's not.

I mentioned my concern for sores I'm finding on him and was advised they are pressure sores from not being mobile enough. So after talking to vet it has been decided to add a joint supplement, and start weekly physical therapy and laser therapy for him... The vet said the water therapy I do with him a few times a week is doing him good but he just needs more.

The vet stated that the muscles are shrinking causing the mobility issues... so to counteract that he is advising I order him a specialized orthopedic bed and a wheelchair/sling device. The wheelchair/sling device will support his body as he moves around and strengthens the muscles at his own pace removing the possibility for injury from him falling over.

He will get weekly PT and laser 1xweek for 8 weeks. The good news is he will get it at home no stressful trip to vet. But this all will cost money...

I like to be transparent with everyone, this is what we are facing now.

Thank you soooooooooooooo VERY much ❤️

***UPDATE****

The supplement I got from vet the other day seem to be working!!!!

Squiggles has more energy.... and was more vocal today for food... he ate some cukes, watermelon, his Red Cell Supplement, and some blue berry/blackberries and some goat milk soaked natures best young pig pellets(switched food to give him more calories).

I wanted to Thank everyone once again for being there for our boy Squiggles!!!!

Once he's stronger I will do some snout paintings with him and Willow. But I want to make sure I get him back on track. (Everyone I promised a painting already I didn't forget... I had to turn my energy to keep him from getting sicker)... but I will do them I promise!

He has 3 more weeks of injections (b12) and vet will do a checkup on him. But it's all now a waiting game ... baby steps!

Wrinkles is a 4 year old neutered male pot belly pig located near Racine,WI and looking for a new home by September 15th. The family adopted him from the humane society to save him from euthanasia. He is house trained and harness trained as well💗 Wrinkles is a good boy but unfortunately his family is relocating.

Wrinkles is not at Saving Snouts- we are just trying to help him find a new family. Please share… the timeline is pretty short.

To all the pig family members. We have an urgent situation. Our fellow member, Tammy Adonizio, needs our help. She is a proud pig mom and has shared this information with me. She shared with me that she hates asking for help, so let’s help her and her pig Squiggles.

Tammy shared Squiggles’ story with us: I rescued him from a woman who had many pigs. he was part of a transport for a rescue I help with. Him, his sister and mom were the pigs to take to foster. He was in such bad shape I put him on my passenger seat and he just laid there. I caught him side eying me so I started talking to him. even as sick as he was, he wagged his tail, I told him he was safe now and he grunted and climbed in my lap. He was taken home and bathed and from my experience he had mites and bad infection from being starved and neglected. he was 5 months but was the size of a 10 week old piglet. Once dewormed and fed he slept in my spare bathroom(because I couldn't put him near my pigs because of mites.) He was neutered 3 days later and came home with me where I told rescue I'm adopting him. He was doing better until he got really sick. brought to vet where he was diagnosed with sepsis and given little chance to survive becaucse of his condition . well, he fought and survived... he had 2 bouts of sepsis, numerous surgeries and admissions... loads of meds... Despite all the commotion he was friendly. He went through hell and fought like hell. He us still not out of the woods but shows the will to live... I have shed many tears... both happy and sad.... It takes an Army to keep things together, so I came up with the name "Squiggle's Army”. His vet team is the best. He is now buddies with my Kune Kune Willow

We need to raise $300 for his vet appointment on August 11, 2023. Tammy lives in New Jersey and has a vet who gives Squiggles great care. However, if Tammy cannot pay $300 tomorrow Squiggles will not get the labs done which include the test needed to see if he needs yet another transfusion. Until the vet can reverse the damage done by the Sepsis, Squiggles will need to have transfusions if his blood count comes back low.

To help raise money for this Vet appointment tomorrow, you may donate to Cashapp - $bestmomeverof4. .. Tammy Adonizio . This is the only way to donate money that Tammy will receive the money immediately. She has a GoFundMe page, those funds are released weekly.



Tomorrow more information will be shared on how to donate to help with ongoing vet costs, pig feed and pig supplies, pig medicine, etc. Today our focus is getting Squiggles seen and treated by his vet tomorrow. Thank you so very much for any size donation you are able to give, it is GREATLY appreciated.

Please help me wish my very special friend, Bitty, a very happy 9th birthday! Bitty sent me a pink pig pillow as a Christmas present in 2022, I sleep with it every night while I dream about my Princess Bitty

Happy birthday to our princess 👑 Bitty pig 🐖…..the last of the single digit b-days (w/ special guest visitor Watson 🐶).
