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)

It’s been a whirlwind of a week around here with supportive care, but we’re happy to report some positive updates this morning!

Morty was the first pig to show issues on Sunday night, and was brought inside the house when we suspected he was suffering from heat exhaustion. Monday was a scary day, when he was vomiting and his temperature dropped; a course of re**al fluids throughout the day helped our special guy to recover. He was able to rejoin his friends at breakfast today 🩵

On Monday, Daisy Duke was also having issues, refusing feed and only wanting to sleep. So between checking on Morty and everyone else, we got her into the house where we also began fluids to be proactive. Daisy is still inside, but her appetite came back last night and she’s doing much better this morning. Daisy’s friends have been a little rude to her lately, so we are taking her to the vet on Friday to be proactive about her general health—even if her appetite is back, we want to make sure we aren’t missing something.

Dinner time line up! We love our “big kids” so much. They’re usually less dramatic than the smaller pigs, super affectionate, and they make us smile big every day 🩵

Edna has her Bangz back! 😍

It’s been a stressful day around here, with 3 different pigs having some issues following the extreme heat over the weekend. As always, we provide the best care possible to the pigs, starting with supportive care at home.

Please keep Morty, Daisy Duke, and Billy in your thoughts; all three aren’t feeling themselves today, with Morty being the main concern. He and Daisy are inside the human house getting extra special care (including fluids to help them feel better) ❤️‍🩹

Watermelon party was a success! It’s a lot of work prepping bite-sized pieces for all of the pigs, but every single piggy at HHF (and another resident featured in the video 😂) got at least 3 pieces each to help hydrate this afternoon.

Annabelle heard there will be a watermelon party later this afternoon, and she’s stoked! We grabbed 10 melons to help keep piggies hydrated during the heat wave today. Everyone will be grateful for a refreshing treat 🍉

Milo’s the king of selecting prime nap spots, but now that his pen has a 20x20’ shade sail, there are so many prime spots to choose from! He selected a spot by a rabbit brush to keep cool today, adjacent to the mud wallow so he won’t have to walk far to cool off. Smart, resourceful little guy 😍

Greta is preparing for insanely high temps starting tomorrow by expanding her wallow! Summer is easily the hardest season here, at least for us humans. Constantly checking and refilling waters, making sure the pigs are staying in the shade and keeping cool—it’s a lot of work and makes for really long days.

We’re spending time hanging extra shade sails today to prepare for the heat wave 🩵

Linus enjoyed hogging the coveted napping spot in his area today (just a rooted out bit of dirt 😂). We haven’t posted an update following our post last Friday, regarding Olive’s best friend, and one of Linus’ pals.

We spent the week problem solving for our special gal Ana, trying to resolve GI issues at home. She went in for exploratory surgery on Friday, because those issues weren’t improving and she seemed worse. Our vet discovered a carcinoma tumor in her intestines, and the risks were too great to remove it. Sweet Ana was put peacefully to rest instead, not the outcome we were hoping for 🥺

While we can’t share much about Ana, her life mattered and she was important to us. She lived about half of her life knowing the good side of humans, receiving the best care we could provide and enjoying companionship and strong bonds with other pigs. She will be very dearly missed around here.

Thank you to everyone who contributed towards her care. Thank you for loving our pigs and supporting the work we do, even when the outcome isn’t always what we’d like it to be. We appreciate your support so very much 🩵

Happy Father’s Day to all of the pig dad’s—but especially to Andrew 🩵

Though he’s a lot more behind the scenes at Hog Haven, Andrew is a master problem solver and dedicated to improving the quality of life & habitats for our pig pals. From designing porches and shelters, to fixing fences, to playing music he thinks the pigs will enjoy, and giving belly rubs and ear scratches, Andrew is a great pig dad.

Happy Father’s Day, Andrew. We love you and appreciate all that you do!

My name is Olive, and I’ve been happily living at Hog Haven for almost 6 years!

My very best friend was rescued from a terrible situation and needed a safe place to live, but she’s a witness protection pig so food lady can’t share her story. She’s currently fighting for her life at the vet clinic, and I miss her terribly. She is undergoing emergency surgery this evening for a GI issue, and not only does she need all of the love and support she can get, she also needs help with what will be a significant bill.

I really want my bestie home as soon as possible. If you could help make that a reality, I would be so happy! And if you can’t contribute right now, you can help by leaving a comment of support and sharing this post.

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)
