Hi everyone! Jenkins here!

I bet y'all are busy decorating 🎄🎄🎄and shopping 🎁🎁🎁for the holidays, and I'm here to help you out!

We have an auction going on right now and there are piggy 🐽🐷🐽🐷items galore!

As you may know, we’ve been busy with fundraisers since September to buy a medical pig lift for safer tusk and hoof trims for our medically vulnerable potbellies, and we've almost reached our goal. We're hoping that this auction pushes us over the finish line!

I hope to see you over at the auction!

This is Boss, one of our oldest potbellies and a pig whose strength comes not from size but from everything he has overcome. He originally came from a hoarding situation so severe that it took over an hour to find him buried among stacked boxes and clutter.

By the time he arrived at Saving Snouts he was shy, thin, and suffering from untreated pneumonia — and for a while we weren’t sure he would pull through. But with care, snuggles, and a second treatment plan that finally worked, Boss slowly transformed into a confident, resilient boy.

Today he stands proudly at the top of the potbelly hierarchy, sharing leadership with Buddy, and is known for taking his ‘Boss’ name very seriously — he’ll even stop the humans from spreading mulch if he wants a nap spot there instead. This year he also battled a straw-impacted eye and now stays in blanket-only housing to protect his vision, but his spirit has never dimmed. Boss is strong, loyal, gentle, and adored… and he would love to have an Auntie or Uncle of his own.

If you’d like to be Boss’s monthly sponsor, let me know in the comments.

Thank you all and I'll see you tomorrow when you'll meet Cash.

Good morning, my sweet friends — it’s Barn Momma Kiwi here.

And today I want you to meet Roman — one of Percy's and Lady’s identical twin boys, a sweet soul who has spent his whole life side by side with his family.

Roman is a cherished part of our only biological family here at Saving Snouts. He and his brother Bocca have been inseparable since the day they were born — you’ll almost never find one without the other. They moved through life as mirror images: grazing side by side, exploring the pasture together, and curling up in the straw in matching little piles of piggy love. Roman lives in the White Barn with his mom, dad, and brother, where the soft rustle of hay and the comfort of family fill every day. He has his mother’s sweet temperament and his father’s calm nature, making him a truly gentle spirit. Now all he needs is an Auntie or Uncle to call his own.

If you’d like to be Roman’s monthly sponsor, let me know in the comments. After you do that, click here

Hi, everyone! Jenkins here!

I'm taking a little break from my holiday vacation to be the auctioneer at Savings Snouts 2025 Holiday Auction!

Saving Snouts Holiday Auction – Final Push for the Pig Lift!

We’re launching a special online auction to help us raise the last $525 of our $4,500 goal for the medical pig lift — a vital piece of equipment that makes hoof and tusk trims safer and less stressful for our potbellies.

All proceeds from the auction go directly toward the lift. Every bid helps us cross the finish line and give our piggy pies the safe, low-stress care they deserve.

Any amount raised above what we need for the pig lift will go towards winter supplies, like straw, that keep our piggy pies warm and toasty during Winter in Wisconsin.

Thank you for helping us lift them up — literally! 💖🐷✨

Please join us at https://www.facebook.com/events/1191083729662712/?active_tab=discussion
And could you do me a big favor? From the auction page, please share the great news about our auction to help us reach the finish line for our pig lift fundraising goal.

Thank you, everypiggy, for your love and support!

Love and snout kisses,
Jenkins

🌾💛 My sweet friends… Kiwi here! 💛🌾

Thank you to every single one of the 19 wonderful people who joined in yesterday’s straw-stack guessing fun! With the cold spell rolling in, our very own Straw Santa — Momma Tj — was busy delivering coziness all across the sanctuary.

The official total? 23 bales of straw! 🎉

And we have two winners!
✨ Auntie Lacy Keiffer, who guessed 24
✨ Auntie Karina Jo, who guessed 22

Both Aunties will get to choose their prize: piggy earrings, a piggy keychain, or a piggy necklace. Please comment under the pictures of the items which one you would like me to send to you. I just LOVE getting to send out piggy gifts! SQUEE!!

We had guesses from 8 bales all the way up to 153 — which just shows how mighty Momma Tj’s straw-delivery missions truly are!

Thank you again for playing along and helping us keep everypiggy warm and cozy this winter.

With love,
Kiwi 💛🌾

Good morning, my sweet friends — it’s Barn Momma Kiwi here.

Today in my Potbelly Parade of Love, I want to introduce you to Percy — the dignified dad of our First Family, a calm soul with a quiet heart of gold.

Before I tell you about Percy, my sweet friends, I have to share some wonderful news — another one of my potbellies found his Auntie yesterday! I've been SQUEEEE-ING all night long!

Let's all welcome Auntie Erin to the Saving Snouts family! She visited us not too long ago, and simply fell in love with Arnold, and he hasn't stopped oinking about getting his very own Auntie since he heard the news!

Our handsome teddy-bear pig Arnold, rescued from a petting zoo after he was no longer considered “cute,” finally has someone to call his own. That boy spent far too long alone in the back of a barn, but those days are long behind him now. My heart could just burst. 💛🐽 I included a picture of sweet Arnold here after the pictures of Percy. I think he's plenty "cute" but you be the judge!

Now… let’s meet Percy, the gentle dad of our sanctuary’s First Family.

This handsome fellow arrived at Saving Snouts with his mate Lady and their identical twin boys, Bocca and Roman — the only biological family who lives here together. Percy was already neutered when he arrived, and he settled right into the peaceful rhythm of the White Barn.

Percy is a calm, aloof gentleman. He doesn’t rush toward people, and he’s not one to ask for attention — but he’s never unkind. He prefers to observe from a few steps back, keeping a watchful eye on his family while giving them the freedom to be their sweet, snuggly selves.

While Lady and the boys love their companionship and cozy cuddles, Percy is the grounding presence who keeps their little herd balanced. Quiet, steady, thoughtful — that’s our Percy.

He may not demand the spotlight, but that doesn’t mean his heart is any smaller.
This gentle dad would love an Auntie or Uncle who appreciates him exactly as he is.

And yesterday I told you about his lady, Lady. She is also still looking for her own Auntie or Uncle.

If you’d like to be Percy's and/or Lady's monthly sponsor, let me know in the comments. After you do that, click here:

Thank you all and I'll see you tomorrow when you'll meet Roman❤

UPDATE!! Good morning, my sweet friends! The straw bale guessing game is closed, and I'll be posting the winner in just a few minutes!
Love,

💛🐖 Hello, my sweet friends… it’s Kiwi! 🐖💛

The temperatures are dropping here at Saving Snouts, and you should see the magic happening today…

Momma Tj has turned into our very own Straw Santa! 🎅✨

She’s been zipping all over the sanctuary delivering warm, fluffy bales of straw to everypiggy who needs a cozy place to snuggle.

And speaking of cozy… just look at Figment and Dreamer!

The moment their straw arrived, they built themselves the sweetest little nest — five-star snuggling at its finest. 💛🐽🌾

Since Straw Santa has been making such a big delivery run, I thought we could play a little game:

How many bales of straw do you think Momma Tj is passing out today?
Leave your guesses in the comments!

The closest guess will win their choice of:
✨ a piggy keychain
✨ a piggy necklace
✨ or piggy earrings!

All right, my sweet friends… I’m off to inspect the rest of Straw Santa’s deliveries to make sure they meet proper nest-building standards. 😉

Gather ‘round, my friends! It’s Sprinkles, your VP & Chief Oinking Officer, with a big, sparkly✨🌟💫 update on A Spin on Wishlist Wednesdays!

We had our first Wishlist Raffle Wheel winner when I spun November’s wheel on Monday. I’ve tried to contact Auntie Kathy Puyleart, but haven’t heard back from her. If any of you know her, please let her know she has a message from my Auntie Celeste!

Thank you Auntie Linda G, Auntie Susan V, and two anonymous donors for the gifts from our Amazon Wishlist this week. If you are one of the anonymous donors and you’d like to be in our raffle on January 1st, please let me know in the comments.

All Amazon gifts we receive by December 31st will be added to the Wishlist Raffle Wheel and included in my monthly drawing on January 1st.

Would YOU like to get in on the fun? Here’s what it’s all about:

A Spin on Wishlist Wednesdays!

I’ve noticed that Momma Tj gets some very interesting looking boxes delivered right to her doorstep. I decided to do a little investigating. I mean….could all those boxes be for her??

Turns out that many of you piggy-loving Saving Snouts supporters are sending those boxes, and they’re full of all manner of goodies from something called our Amazon Wish List! I saw those and fainted on the spot!

After recovering, I decided it was high time to recognize these unsung heroes of Saving Snouts.

So today I bring you “A Spin on Wish List Wednesday”!

What is this “Spin,” you ask?

Every time Momma Tj gets a box from you, I’ll add your name to my Wishlist Wednesday Raffle Wheel. On the first of each month I’ll spin that wheel and the winner wins their choice of a piggy necklace, piggy earrings, a piggy keychain, or a Saving Snouts 5-Start Resort Coloring Book!

If you’d like to get in on the fun, here’s the link to our Wishlist. Please remember to include your name when you order, so I know what to put on the Wishlist Raffle Wheel.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2OC1D2DVYFZM1/?ref_=lol_ov_le&fbclid=IwAR23y8jhFp-E1U-cygP1VHG8KIATOZPxfhl0Z311eL9LJcSlqyr7EQBDWBI

This is going to be so much fun!! I can’t wait to start sending boxes of goodies to YOU!!! SQUEEEE!!

Thank you again to all of our many supporters. You are what makes the world go ‘round here at Saving Snouts.

Happy shopping, and I’ll see y’all next Wednesday! WEEEEE!

Oinkfully yours,
~~Sprinkles, VP & Chief Oinking Officer
