This happened last year but it’s worth repeating 🫶

“ What a dirty shame it is watching you give all these pigs those big beautiful salads”

~ unplanned visitor that I gave a tour to while I was trying to get meds and veggie chopping done

After multiple similar comments I finally responded with “ What would make you feel better right now? If the salads were rotten would you not be so disgusted?”

I was met with a blank stare and the tour ended a few minutes later. The real problem with this entire scenario is how did we become so cruel to certain species of animals? Some view them as edible so they aren’t worthy of love, medical care and fresh produce? As I watch Kip follow me all over the sanctuary tonight while I pass out big bowls of salad freshly chopped and washed ( another thing she had an issue with) I thought it might be a good time to share his story especially for new followers 🐽💗

🐷💗🌱 This boy knows where I am at all times🥰 We have a special unique bond that I am so grateful for. He came here at just under a month old with a lengthy list of medical issues and a university that would only euthanize him. I brought him home after I was told we wouldn’t even make that trip🙄

I treated Kip at home with our local veterinarian and lots of guidance from fellow sanctuary directors. This boy couldn’t catch a break, it was one issue after the next along with 2 surgeries and a diagnosis of a neurological disorder that caused severe head shaking that improved greatly over the years💕 Neither of us gave up and all those sleepless nights created the most amazing bond 🐷 Love you so so big Kiperdoo❤️

Be kind to every kind🌱☮️

🥶 We have been ringing in the new year a little quiet. It’s been a little busy around here prepping for freezing cold temps❄️ We have had 4 loads of straw delivered in the last 2 days to be on the safe side🌾We put thick felt over their regular doors for extra warmth in case the polar vortex happens🏡

I feel like this prep has been around the clock work this last week and my body is feeling it🙃 But then I walk into a barn and see these cute little faces all snuggled up and warm which brings a sense of relief that’s almost hard to describe 🫶

Thankfully I have people around me that love them just as much and say things like “I rearranged my work schedule so I’ll see you in an hour”🥹Moments like that mean the world to me and all the residents 🐽❤️

💊🏥🩺 As a follow up to yesterday’s post I just wanted to share with you in a little more detail what I mean when I say special needs❤️‍🩹 Even though some have hurdled through tricky diagnostics and creative surgeries they are on lifelong supplements and medication as a preventative plan.

Blake was part of a small study at UT with my permission of course.A veterinary student who is going to one amazing veterinarian took a special interest in Blake🥹 She was part of his preventative plan🗒️🐽 In the corner of the pic is Blake’s breakfast before filtered water is added. His care plan is so very detailed it even consisted of water testing here at the sanctuary 🏡

I know this might be boring to some but I also know there are some of you that like to learn a little behind the scenes of sanctuary life🐷🏥 We take veterinary orders very seriously and they are all treated as individuals 🫶 We constantly seek further education and advice. We fully commit to them and all their needs.

Friendly reminder!!

Please do not feed any of the animals here without permission. We had someone pass out raw potatoes yesterday and now we have a sick pig. This person went to the Blue Barn pictured that is filled with special needs pigs, one is Blake who is on an extremely strict diet per UT veterinary orders!! We spent 10K to fix him and now he’s sick most likely from yesterday. To say I am a little furious would be an understatement!!

Thank You for respecting and following our rules- this is not a pig farm!! We are a sanctuary filled with animals who have beaten crazy odds medically to be here and you put that all at risk when you don’t follow the rules!!

"Good friends show their love in times of trouble, not just in times of happiness"
~Buddy and Boss

I just want to take a minute to say Thank You to all of you who support us in many different ways🫶These last couple weeks have been tough.

We have been fortunate to not have many losses here so two in one week was soul crushing. Watching 19 pigs say goodbye to Avocado who was their leader brought me to my knees. His presence is just so deeply missed.Saying goodbye to Star after all he had hurdled through wasn’t easy either. The “ what if” could just about drive you crazy.

The projects have been never ending and challenging with the cold weather🥶 It’s been stressful to say the least.

Then recently our small town chairman who I thought was done harassing us has started another battle. This person was the same board member who was a key instigator in starting the court trial in the past. He unfortunately became our chairman since that time. First he was after the pigs and now the goats😔

Fortunately this time it’s a little different because we have already legally won this issue. So it’s more of a matter of providing paperwork that they already have. It’s disheartening though that he chooses a constant game of harassment instead of choosing to be thankful that a non profit helping animals in need exists in the town. He is a perfect example of why people get so frustrated with small town incompetent politicians who gain seats and power with personal interests as their drive.He could be coming here and learning about what we do like the previous chairman did who was wonderful 💗

Just as I am at a breaking point though you all show up for the animals here in so many different ways. Our community is filled with so many amazing humans who constantly give me hope☮️ So Thank You from the very bottom of my heart💜 You all mean so much to all of us here🐾🐽🐐🐈🐶🐷

Today is Giving Tuesday 🫶A perfect time to share our mission and the work we do here at Saving Snouts💗

We are home to 51 pigs, 2 goats, 7 cats and 2 tripod doggos 🐷🐐🐈🐶 Farm animals are some of the most abused animals on earth. It’s our mission to show you all that they are just as deserving of a loving home as any dog or cat.

There is so much inaccurate information out there when it comes to farm animals. We like to share with you the real facts.We love that you get to see what these animals act like when they are surrounded by people that have their happiness as their mission ☮️🌱

A lot of residents came here needing extensive and at times creative medical care🏥 Some have permanent disabilities from their previous life. We have an incredible local veterinary team that will go above and beyond for the animals here❤️‍🩹🩺

We are going to share some of the most memorable rescues with you today🏡🫶

Gwen is one of pot belly pigs who was born with 2 sets of hooves 🐾 She lives in a heated barn with her best friend Blake. She will always need to have her space as flat as possible. Any bumps or hills would cause her to fall. She does really well if she has the right environment 🏡 Regular pedicures,shallow wallows, special soft side pools,even ground, blankies without holes and her besties🫶
