We hope you got out and cast your vote today. We did. So many sacrifices have been made for all citizens to have the right to vote.

I vote for more beautiful days like today. It was a gorgeous day at Swine Knot.

Scarlett was trying to open my phone with facial recognition. She got a bunch of silly selfies instead. The many faces of Scarlett.

We had a fantastic time at the Randolph Elementary School Fall Festival today. So many children just absolutely loved our animals. I love our community here in Goochland County.

Trick or Treat!
Can y'all see this? My posts have not been showing up on the Swine Knot page all week. I know it's halloween, but I would never ghost my Swine Knot family.

We've done a lot of thinking and researching. Instead of building the huge 40' X 80' building we had planned, we are going to order a 16'x 40' building. We can still finish it however we want on the inside, and it will be movable if we decide to move to a larger property in the future. It is likely that we will outgrow our current property at some point. We still plan on adding a separate veterinary building once the new pig barn is funded. All buildings and existing pig cottages will be movable if the need arises. The anticipated cost of the building shell without any interior build out is approximately $22,664.00. The new building will have 18 new 5' x 5' pig stalls that will have pig doors that open up to individual runs. This will greatly increase our capacity to help animals in need. We can't do this alone. We currently house 32 permanent pig residents and fosters, with an equal amount of pigs boarded for a variety of reasons. We also house 3 goats, 2 sheep, 3 alpacas, 4 equines, and around 30 birds (ducks, chickens, turkeys, peafowl). We just earned our 501c3 non-profit status earlier this year. We are looking for donors and partners to help us expand our work and help even more animals in need. Can we count you in?

These pigs are in DIRE need of a home ASAP! We will help transport to a good home.

So here we are AGAIN..I had SOOOO many people say they wanted to give these 2 guys a home and it just didn't happen. They have til Oct 30th to get a home or be off the property 😪 as we all know " off the property " is my nice way of saying put down😭 PLEASE don't come at me about this with rude comments or judgement! We are paying a full month of rent at that house this month just to help get them a home! I am checking and feeding them twice a day. I have posted this ad 6 times just for some t**t to turn me in and have it removed! I understand some people don't like free to good home posts BUT I'd rather them get a home than a bullet to the head! With that being said ...this is Trooper (black) and kuna (white) both are fixed and very sweet! Trooper is a super friendly guy who loves everyone. Kuna is sweet but takes a little while to get to know you 1st. They have been together 7 almost 8 yrs and I'd love to see them stay together if possible. Please message me with any questions. And yes you will have to transport, I have NO way to move them. Thank you for reading.

It's hard to find good help these days. #pigsofinstagram #pigboarding #resnort #swineknot #piggycamp #accommodationstowallowin #swineknotsanctuary

This is why we can't have nice things. #pigsofinstagram #pigboarding #resnort #swineknot #piggycamp #swineknotsanctuary #animallovers

Have blankets, will travel. #pigsofinstagram #pigboarding #resnort #swineknot #piggycamp #swineknotsanctuary #animallovers #ruth

I had to whisper, so I didn't wake up the pigs who were actually sleeping. They can hear an acorn fall from a half a mile away. It keeps them from their sleep #swineknot #swineknotsanctuary #midnightsnack #animallovers

Bobbing for apples is a common activity this time of year. But bobbing for acorns is much more fun. #swineknotsanctuary #swineknot

So, it turns out that the tooth fairy brings peppermints. I overheard Auggie ask Butter how many teeth she actually has... #swineknot

Sweetpea patiently waits her turn while Dusley gets his pedicure. #swineknot #accommodationstowallowin #dudley #sweetpea.

Kat Simons Fundraiser Event recap! An amazing turn out, beautiful weather and even greater cause.

No vacation visiting sanctuaries would be complete without a visit to Ranger's Refuge at Gallastar. One of my favorite places on earth! #swineknot #rangersrefugeatgallastar
