Hog Haven Farm

Hog Haven Farm Hog Haven Farm is a nonprofit pig rescue and sanctuary in Colorado.

Our mission is to provide a safe environment for potbellied pigs that are rescued from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. HHF strives to promote compassion for all animals, and to allow these animals to live happy lives without fear and suffering. We currently offer therapy pet programs across the Denver metro area, and our list includes memory care facilities, nursing homes, assisted l

iving communities, libraries, and more! In the long term, Hog Haven Farm aims to:

• Promote potbellied pigs as the third recognized domesticated animal and pet by providing education and resources to the general public
• Provide a safe home for rescued livestock (including potbelly pigs) to call home; a place for rehabilitation of livestock animals; and a welcoming environment for the community to become better acquainted with animals associated with food
• Educate the community about potbelly pigs as creatures and pets
• Educate the community about farm animals through volunteer programs, organization visits to the farm (schools, etc.), and allow community to work directly with the animals to learn more about them
• Educate the community about sustainable food options; farm animals are more than dinner, and educational programs are paramount in creating change within the food industry
• Create outreach program for children with autism (research strongly suggests that animals increase positive social behaviors with children that have ASD)

Falstaff’s favorite season is here! This wooly big boy loves snow more than anything; he’s had a busy morning with lots of zoomies and lots of rooting. He’ll probably take a nap out there next 😂

A Mangalista, Falstaff is a Hungarian breed, who do alright in snow and cold. They have thick, wooly hair like a sheep, and are usually pretty silly, playful piggies.

We hope all of our friends taking care of animals in the cold and snow today are hanging in there 🩵

In fall 2013, Andrew and I were brand new pig parents, looking to add a second pig to our home.

As we joined various online communities, met other pig parents, we realized the need for pig rescue was huge. Less than 5% of pet pigs remain in one home throughout their lives, which average 15-20 years. Many pigs are rehomed before their first birthday—before they settle into their personalities—which is heartbreaking.

We embarked on this wild journey, making a promise to every pig we’d cross paths with: they would always be someone, and know only love, kindness, friendship, a full belly and a warm bed.

Today, on , we humbly ask you to help us continue keeping that promise. Winter is always our most costly season: we increase daily feed for the pigs; distribute hundreds of bales of fluffy, warm straw; provide timothy hay for snacks and extra calories; and supplement the pigs’ diets and enrichment every way we can to keep them warm, happy, and safe. Over the past decade, we have been able to rescue hundreds of pigs, and we aim to educate the public about them as individuals. Our mission is not just to help pigs find safety, love and comfort, but to teach compassion for all beings as well.

Hog Haven Farm is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, so your donations are tax deductible—and they directly benefit the pigs who call our Haven their home 🫶🏻

Meet the resident “new hooligans” of Hog Haven 😂

These three trouble makers—Rorschach, Piggles, and Puddle—definitely keep us on our toes with their constant shenanigans and curious zest for life. A while ago, they broke a fence and self-integrated into a new herd; there was no drama and things have been going pretty well!

Until last night, that is, when temps were plummeting to single digits and snow was starting to fall. Their new friends refused to let them sleep in any of the shelters in the pen, and they were trying to bed down outside. We can’t have piggies sleeping outside in dangerous temps, so we quickly came up with a temporary solution for the night; they got to stay right behind the human house, in a pen we use for the house pigs during the summer.

We worked on some shuffling today, and are happy to report that the three naughty babies have their own private area once again.

The many cute faces of Annabelle 🥰

It’s been miserable here since yesterday morning, and the whole week is going to be cold. Fortunately, all of the pigs have deep straw to stay cozy in, and we are feeding hot mash to everyone for warm and full bellies. It’s officially winter ❄️

Journey 🥰

The big pigs were given hay to snack on this morning while we work on replenishing straw in their barn ahead of the incoming snow storm and falling temps. Journey ate her fill and promptly laid down for a snooze.

Piggies will all be cozy, with full bellies, when the temps drop this evening!

Happy Thanksliving from all of us at Hog Haven Farm 🥰

There is much to be thankful for, in this eleventh year of operating a pig rescue and sanctuary. We are thankful for you—our loyal friends, fans, volunteers, supporters and donors. We are thankful for being able to help so many animals. We are thankful for an amazing community of compassionate, kind individuals who see the animals we love as someone, not something.

And lastly, we are thankful for Pippy (RIP) and Boris, the two pigs who started us on this amazing journey.

Wishing you all peace and kindness today and everyday 🫶🏻

We haven’t posted an update about our truck—but we did get it picked up from the mechanic, and it’s in tip top shape again, all thanks to you!!

The Tundra is a big part of the day to day routine at Hog Haven Farm, and now that the wiring is fixed and lights are working, it can be driven off site again to pick up feed, take pigs to the vet, and more.

Your donations fully covered the cost of the repairs, and we are so grateful for your help! Pic is of two of our feed supervisors, Nikita and Moo Goat 🥰

Hans has sure grown up this year—he is definitely looking less and less like a baby 🥺

While he’s still on the small side for his breed, Hans is rapidly approaching adulthood, settling into his personality. He’s still a silly big baby, getting zoomies every day and hassling his friends; he loves snuggles from mama, when he isn’t too busy with his pals.

Hans is 1 of 30 larger breed pigs living his best life in the safety and comfort of our sanctuary. He is one of the lucky ones who gets to know only love, a full belly, a warm bed, and the joy of having friends—something we wish for all living beings 🥺

Happy 3rd birthday, Lodi! 🥳

This little pistol came to HHF at only a month old, with a terrible case of aspiration pneumonia, in 2022. She spent the first 4 weeks recovering in an oxygen chamber, on strong antibiotics, fighting for her life. Lodi has proven to be a fighter, with a strong will to live and thrive. She’s doing very well these days, in spite of scar tissue on her lungs. We hope to have many more years with her larger than life personality 🫶🏻

Lodi enjoyed time out of her pen with her friends today, as well as her lemon cupcake!

A few years back, there was a research study done with pigs using tools at a zoo in Paris. As the fifth smartest mammal, pigs are incredibly intelligent, resourceful, and have amazing critical thinking/problem solving skills!

Puddle showed off her skills at learning how to use a rake today; while this silly big girl can be a menace, it was really cool to watch her.

Oh my goodness, today is Daisy Duke day! This pretty lady is celebrating her 11th trip around the sun 😍

Daisy has lived at HHF most of her life; she came to us a week shy of her first birthday. Her prior family loved her very much, but surrendering her to a sanctuary was in Daisy’s best interest. The day she arrived, we also rescued Charlotte, and these two ladies became inseparable, until this past summer.

Daisy had a few health issues come up, and we were never able to safely reintroduce her to her friends after she recovered. She did become besties with Pua, and they now have their own private pen 🖤

Happy birthday, Daisy Duke!

Our Story

It all started with a little Pipsqueak...

In 2014, founders Erin and Andrew adopted a little potbellied pig from a Craigslist ad--and the rest, you can say, is history! This little pig changed their lives, and inspired them to start Hog Haven Farm. In five years, more than 275 pigs have been rescued, and more than 100 have found their forever families! Hog Haven Farm rescues all breeds of pig, though most are abandoned, abused or neglected potbellies, once purchased as pets. Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and highly personable beings; those who cannot be adopted as pets live out their natural lives at Hog Haven Farm!

Our mission is to provide a safe environment for potbellied pigs that are rescued from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. HHF strives to promote compassion for all animals, and to allow these animals to live happy lives without fear and suffering. We currently offer therapy pet programs across the Denver metro area, and our list includes memory care facilities, nursing homes, assisted living communities, libraries, and more! In the long term, Hog Haven Farm aims to: • Promote potbellied pigs as the third recognized domesticated animal and pet by providing education and resources to the general public • Provide a safe home for rescued pigs to call home; a place for rehabilitation; and a welcoming environment for the community to become better acquainted with animals associated with food • Educate the community about potbelly pigs as creatures and pets • Educate the community about farm animals through volunteer programs, organization visits to the farm (schools, etc.), and allow community to work directly with the animals to learn more about them • Educate the community about sustainable food options; farm animals are more than dinner, and educational programs are paramount in creating change within the food industry • Create outreach program for children with autism (research strongly suggests that animals increase positive social behaviors with children that have ASD)
