I’m angry.

I got a call from a woman up in Colgate, WI yesterday, that had a pig at large on her property. A pig she strongly believes was dumped by a nearby animal “flipper” (someone that is constantly buying and selling animals because they cannot commit and do anything in the best interest of the animals). She contacted the local police and they pretty much told her that is was her problem now. Somehow, she found me. She called me yesterday and as sick as I am with a horrible head cold, I started making calls. I called a contact with animal control that drove up there to help them contain the pig - thank you for helping them!

I DO NOT NEED THIS. 💔

My husband and I drove up to Colgate and snagged this guy this afternoon. He is definitely intact and terrified. He has tusks and he uses them. We got him in a crate and he was able to get it open with his tusks. 😳 This behavior is all normal for a pig in a bad situation and not at all a reflection of who this guy may be… he is in survival mode. He is about 4x larger than he was described to me yesterday, but he is definitely a “mini pig.”

I do not have a place for another pig, let alone a pig needing to be neutered and rehabbed. My quarantine place is FULL with Taz right now and will be for MONTHS. And Taz deserves that time to recover and be able to integrate safely.

I have no idea how we will make this all work. I’m just doing SOMETHING, ANYTHING to help. I desperately need another shelter for this guy. I wish I had another shed. This time of year, I need to protect this pig from the elements. I need a ton of straw bales to help keep this guy warm.

I also need to PAY FOR ALL OF THIS. 💔 I work part-time. I love my life and I’m so happy I’m in a position to be able to help. But, I’m ANGRY that no one else is stepping up to help, here. Milwaukee is having some sort of crisis with pigs being dumped all over. I have taken in THREE pigs found dumped since September. THAT IS FOUR MONTHS.

I cannot take in any more pigs. If anyone here in the metro-Milwaukee area can help going forward with these cases, PLEASE REACH OUT. If people are going to call me, and I can refer you, please let me know! ❤️ I need a network to fall back on. If you know anyone that has a farm like ours, please SHARE THIS POST. More people like me have to be out there. I need to have resources to contact when the next time happens. Because there will be a next time. I can only help for so long! I’m looking for PEOPLE. Not groups. Not sanctuaries.

If anyone has not yet donated to this pig mess and feels so inclined, it would be appreciated and go to a very worthy cause. My Venmo is -mayhew and my PayPal is [email protected]. Thank you to the network of community that has already helped and donated - you are appreciated more than I can ever communicate in a FB post.

I need to build a network of people like me. This pig epidemic isn’t ending. I’m so grateful for all the people that I’ve met doing this. I just need more people! ❤️

I’m heartbroken that this is still happening. Animals deserve better than they’re getting.

**update***
We support this rescue which means you our customers sent
a recent donation of $3,000.00
to help. Thank you 😺

$348.57 LEFT TO GO ON HENDRIX'S INJURY BILL. WE'RE IN DESPERATE NEED OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT RIGHT NOW. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SPARE, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. YOU CAN MAKE A TAX-DEDUCTABLE DONATION VIA OUR WEBSITE, www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/doante

First of all, big thank you to all our friends & family who are giving what they can. In the last 48 hours, that was Elizabeth I., Andrew F., John V., & Suzanne E. donating a total of $175. Didn't get a chance to post last night as we had a kitty today that needed a sedated procedure we weren't anticipating today. We'll get to his bill & our planned vet bill for another kitty we incurred Monday after we finish Hendrix's. A few months back, I asked our followers if you would all be our Virtual Fundraising Team right now - because we don't have any volunteers doing fundraising for us at the moment. I'm flying solo. It takes a lot of time to recruit volunteers & then orient them - time I don't have right now on top of trying to keep up with all the other operations keeping the rescue going, & most importantly, providing the superior veterinary & nutritional care our animals get - the 2 latter being the gifts I bring to this organization with my background in medicine while simultaneously working a full time job (I don't get paid a penny to run the rescue) as well as stay ahead of a disease diagnosis I was .given 3 1/2 years ago. It's more than one human being can do (especially while trying to keep myself healthy so I can do any of this). I need help. We have several animals that are forever fosters with us because of their complex medical needs, but we have several that are waiting for us to complete vet care & diet transition for adoption (& have been waiting awhile as I needed to care for my own health) so that is our priority at the moment, & when we get everyone adopted that's ready to, then I will be able to devote more time to onboarding volunteers for fundraising, etc. In the meantime, again., MPA needs you. What we do is way too important for it to not exist. We need you to keep going.

Found this cute photo of Hendrix right after we rescued him you might enjoy.

So many problems start because of the plugins or the spray air fresheners. Whatever the name you're using. It is most likely a problem.
