A bright spot during a rough chapter! BIG NEWS!

Thank you for the outpouring of support for Clifford, Hank, and Jack this week. It was heavy and hard to share. But when a door closes...

Our friends at Chicagoland Pig Rescue contacted us about four large-breed piglets running loose in rural Illinois. The pigs had escaped when they were being unloaded at a hog confinement facility—which means they were babies! The farmer didn't want to bother trying to catch them and told the people of the town that whoever could shoot the pigs could have them to eat.

People were literally out trying to hunt them.

A local family who had been trying to save the pigs reached out to Chicagoland for help. The pigs had already been surviving loose for over a month! Chicagoland coached the family on how to leave food for the pigs so they keep returning to their property, then on how to corral the pigs into one of their outbuildings.

IT WORKED!! All 4 were caught on Monday evening!!

PEAK will be fostering these sweeties as Chicagoland works to find them forever homes. We are grateful to be in a position to help, and these angels are already helping us heal from our recent losses.

They just arrived and are acclimating to the sanctuary and our team. Thank you to Chicagoland Pig Rescue for saving them!

We can’t wait to introduce you to them at PEAKsgiving!

This is especially hard to share with our community.

Many of you were just with us, celebrating the babies of PEAK. In a tragic turn that so many in the sanctuary world know far too well, we had to say goodbye to our little red angel, Clifford. After a courageous battle with a severe leg infection, we were devastated to learn that surgery was no longer an option due to the extent of his condition.

After consultations with both Purdue and the University of Illinois, we accepted the devastating news that Clifford’s quality of life would decline rapidly due to his injury and the pace of his growth. His injured leg would not be able to sustain his body weight. As he grew, he would have become immobile and experienced intense pain. Being so young, he would have wanted to move and explore, keeping up with Annie. It would have broken his heart with not being able to do that.

Clifford had a special bond with our senior girl, Annie. Clifford’s friendship brought joy back to Annie. The days they spent together in the wallows, exploring the field, and resting next to each other were beautiful to witness.

Clifford’s rescue was a comforting example of the good people can do when we come together for an animal. It was a community effort to get him out of a terrible situation, and we’re so grateful for all the partners who made it possible. For the past seven months, Clifford has filled our lives with joy and warmth. His gentle spirit and loving nature brought happiness to everyone around him. We are grateful for the time we had with him, allowing us to shower him with love and provide him with the peace he deserved.

While we mourn his loss, we find comfort in knowing that Clifford experienced compassion and kindness during his time at the sanctuary. He will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we honor his memory by continuing to advocate for animals in need.

Rest in peace, dear Clifford. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Please consider donating in honor of sweet Clifford. All previous donations made to go toward his surgery were used to cover the medical costs for his recent stay at Purdue and his pain medication. Thank you for your generosity and support during such a hard period at PEAK.

With Heavy Hearts, We Remember Jack and Hank

Today, we say goodbye to two beloved members of our PEAK family: Jack the chicken and Hank the pig. Both died peacefully of natural causes.

Jack, our senior chicken, taught us about the quiet intelligence and joy chickens can bring when given the chance to live freely. His days were filled with sunshine and friendship, reminding us of the dignity all animals deserve.

Hank, our gentle giant with his signature ear, embodied resilience and kindness. He thrived at PEAK, soaking up belly rubs and sunshine, showing everyone who met him the beauty of compassion toward all beings.

As we mourn their loss, we also honor their lives and the love they shared with us. Jack and Hank will always be a cherished part of our sanctuary. Their spirits continue to inspire us to create a world where all animals, like them, can live free, loved, and at peace.

In their memory, we’re reminded of the growing needs of our aging animal family. As many of our residents enter their senior years, we remain dedicated to giving them the best care possible. Please help us help them. If you’d like to honor Jack and Hank’s legacy, please consider donating to support the care of our residents.
Rest in peace, Jack and Hank. Your love and light will remain forever with us.

To sponsor or support our amazing animals – please donate to PEAK.

Our not so little man Clifford has been gone for a couple days now as he was being examined by Purdue’s wonderful vet team. Annie and his other friends missed him very much!! As you can see, the moment he comes in, everyone brightens up and rushes to say “Hello!! Where have you been!!”

Pigs are incredibly intelligent and are so smart and easy to train. Fabio and Fiona were trained to sit for treats by their incredible foster Mom, while in her care. These two beautiful babies were born into the horrific meat industry and were found on the side of the interstate in Illinois. They most likely had fallen from a transport truck on their way to slaughter. Thankfully they were rescued and ended up here at Peak. They will spend the rest of their lives being cared for and loved by their Peak family. ❤️🥰
