Pits and piggies sanctuary

07/08/2024

Good morning everyone,

First I would like to thank Mr.Wilson your generosity has been greatly appreciated.
We're still in need of some things to help with the animals and the move to a great new farm.

Things that are needed still.

Refurbished calf huts
Food grade water totes
Gift cards to any of our local feed stores to purchase farm gates or if you have a few kicking around 🤔.

Volunteers to help rebuild

OK everyone as you may have heard we're moving the resue (see I didn't say sanctuary) lol a few towns over. The animals will have a bigger space and God willing our sponsors will come back and I can cut back on hours and spend more time with them,With that being said we're on the look out for a few things. Safety is a big key in this as they no longer will be in eye sight 24/7 and some extra measures need to be done.

So what we will need is....

Extra solar lights that flash (foxes, fisher cats don't like them)
Extra barbed or razor wire (bears,mountain lions and Bob cats)
Big food grade totes or calf huts for the pot belly piggies.

We have some but we are going bigger now so we will need more. We're selling off all of our piggy collections to help with some costs for the material.
Plywood and screws are a bonus.
Please keep in mind that if you can't help then please don't comment or complain about it. Just share as someone you know may have something of use. Yes funds are limited as the cost has basically depleted the funds.

Will need help with transport as well if you have a trailer and free time.

If you just have faith the good lord will hear you and answer your prayers 🙏...
All the remaining animals will be moving in the next week or 2 to their new home..thanks to God

05/11/2024

Reach out if you have room for a few pot-bellied pigs. They need rescue and loving homes.
We still have a few needing them.
There is also a few big piggies as well. Would love to add them to the transport next weekend

03/23/2023

We have a few 1/2 bags left..please contact our local feed store.
Thank you for your support.

We have shavings also given by a great tree company
(Which both truly support us)

We have several adult piggies for adoption. If you are interested please pm me

08/14/2022

Praying that we get a good clean health check....I just love them. Their personalities are so amazing. I guess if you don't have them you just can't understand how majestic they are. I can't thank my friend enough who offered to house them for me.

07/31/2022

I've had too many hours to think about this. And I've played many scenarios through, ive considered reasons, excuses, motives, and all the like.
I'm not gonna call anyone out by name, because they know who they are and there's no need to further infect our community by contaminating the minds of those who are innocent and unaware of what's happening. I wish more of us had that luxury to not hear or see the bs and watch the suffering unfold in its wake. Its not the human suffering that is bothering me. Its the suffering of the animals that is the issue I care about.

Not one of you is better than another. Not one. Sorry to break it to you.
No group is better than another. All have flaws, all have their successes, all have failures, all have ideas and intentions, networks of people linked & are driven by the love of, and by a duty to rescue, rehome, protect, defend, advocate for, save the lives of and improve the quality of life for pigs (and other animals in need).
When those pillars are abandoned to entertain personal feelings and agendas
Lives are lost, others put in jeopardy, the course of lives is altered for some, and even the hearts and lives of undeserving humans get fkd up in the process.

Is it important that (rescuer 1) is bipolar when rehoming or transporting Billy the pig?
Is it important to Gretna Piglet that Sanctuary 1's owner/founder is in recovery from an addiction? Or is it important to Joe pig that the person' running the fb groups lives in a homeless shelter? Or that Recuer 8 is in a failing relationship, has a physical disease ?

OUR PIGS IN NEED SUFFER

UGLY TRUTH HERE IS THAT ALL THE CATTY BS HERE IN PIG WORLD IS CAUSING A DECLINE IN OUR ABILITY TO
MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE FOR THESE
ANIMALS.

I DONT GIVE A F**K WHO'S LOYAL TO WHO.OR WHAT GROUP.. I DONT GIVE A FK WHAT YOUR GROUPS # OF RESCUES OR REHOME SUCCESSES ARE---

DOESN'T MEAN A GD THING..AND HERES WHY..

Because in rescue... any life saved belongs to all of you. Its because WORKING TOGETHER is what is required for success in what we do. And our most powerful tool IS EACH OTHER.

Some of you have sadly lost sight of this and turned this into the playground of a bunch of drama that even a teenager would not participate in.
FOR THOSE GUILTY.. YOURE WORSE THAN A PILE OF S**T OR ROTTING DECAY..
REMOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR TOXIC
PRESENCE AND EXISTENCE FROM THE PIG COMMUNITY BEFORE ANYMORE LIVES ARE AFFECTED AND BEFORE YOU FURTHER CONTAMINATE THE NAMES AND REPUTATIONS OF RESCUERS,÷ÈR= NETWORKERS, SANCTUARIES ETC ARE
DAMAGED BECAUSE OF YOUR LACK OF MORAL CHARACTER, WISDOM, AND TRUE DESIRE TO SAVE.

MALICIOUSNESS HAS NO PLACE HERE.

SO TAKE IT THE F**K ELSEWHERE.

IF YOU CANT BE GENUINE, KIND, WORK AS A MEMBER OF A TEAM WITH OUR ONLY SUCCESS BEING THE LIVES OF ANIMALS-----
THEN TAKE YOUR RANCID, RATCHET, CUNTY ASSES
SOMEWHERE THE F**K ELSE AND LET US SAVE PIGS. ITS JUST THAT EASY.

TAKE THIS EXACTLY AS IT SOUNDS. IF IT DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU-- DONT WORRY ABOUT IT.

IF YOURE ONE OF THE ONES I SPEAK OF
YOU REALLY SHOULD TAKE THIS AS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT AND POLITE WARNING..
MY BITE IS MUCH MUCH WORSE.

Rant over! Kindness is fkng free, spread it around.

Hello everyone. We could really use some help getting these boys neutered if not I'm afraid that they can't stay here. I have 2 baby boys going on the 28th to get done. Paid for three others and well now I need some help getting these beautiful souls done as well.
Anything helps

Good morning everyone. ..invoices have gone out. I am back at the sanctuary now. My daughter still isn't doing well for those that are on my personal page. Feed,shavings, alpha hay, snacks, and trims need to be ordered. Medicine was ordered late last night so please let's not wait. If you have arrangements with us
for a certain time and date then please keep it as your animals deserve you to keep your word.
Also remember that we will only send one reminder and then we will be releasing you of your obligations to them.

04/28/2022

Good morning everyone.
Well I have given enough time for everyone envolved to come correct but never did.
So I am going to start by posting this before I post other information.
This Lilly Ford is the fake profile account that was created by Well I guess you will have to be the judge,
Animal control was called and came out.
Agriculture was called and came out
Allegations were made that I was fighting pig's.
Pictures were posted and shared by folks about mud, huts,tarps etc.
Well not one Animal has a wound from fighting or at all period.
Muddy conditions are from the horrible weather but 20 tons of sand was just purchased.
Tarps are for them not to have drafts in the cold weather conditions. Which all come off once the temperature gets above 38 degrees steady. Huts are made out of pallets and plywood with shingled roofs.
Fencing is covered in the winter months as added protection for them from the wind and snow as I live in the mountains and it's pretty bad here sometimes.
We are moving to a much bigger location and will be announced shortly.
Our care, feed and supplies were checked out and passed.
SO TO THIS I SAY. ...
Before everyone jumps on a band wagon please make sure you know who you are dealing with as I have been talked about for several months now and yet these people still acted like my friend and even worked with me on several rescues. See it doesn't matter to me about being FINED for saving a life of a animal and if the animal is in a emergency situation of life or death Well I'm sure you know what I will do.
I have other information on this case as well but until our lawyers say that it's OK to publish I must not.
I don’t have to post anything about here if I the owner chose not to and the fact that someone did trying to make it out to be a horrible place for these beautiful souls is just reaching for straws. Again I would die for them. Maybe next time you should reach out to me personally as I really thought we were friends. I don’t sugar coat s**t and that seems to upset folks. Now please just leave me alone. I have a SLANDER and DEFAMATION SUIT ready to go. There is a thing called Hippa which you broke

04/26/2022

Well now I see that you have taken down the fake profile account. Hmm is there something you need to say to me in private to make me not take this public or shall I keep going today?
You see I actually screen shotted all the posts and comments on that page. Plus I have the IBM that it's linked to.I also have the town official email on the conversation you had. Which yes some is public record but other information was not. Again we are moving to a much bigger place and will be announced when time comes but for now I am going to keep that private as you have made me nervous to even leave these animals alone 😔.
I really don't know what you thought you were going to gain by doing what you did except get animals killed. You know nothing about how folks live up here in the mountains. Why we tarp their huts or the outer fence line. Muddy conditions. ..really have you not watched my weather just like everyone else's?
I can also answer any other questions you brought to light with that page. SO I WILL EXPECT A PRIVATE MESSAGE FROM YOU. ..OR I'M GOING PUBLIC AND YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW BAD IT FEELS TO HAVE SOMEONE ATTACK YOU THAT YOU THOUGHT WAS A FRIEND. ... Good Day MA'AM 👍 👍 👍

Good morning everyone
Well we just found out that the person who has been bashing us is a fake profile account set up by a supposedly well-known person in our pig community.
Well our lawyer is just gathering a bit more evidence before we expose this person with enough evidence for you all to see. From screen shots to actual conversations with folks. Again if you don't like me please don't pretend to. I would of had more respect for you if you would have just reached out to me personally. Yes we even hired a private investigation company. Don't screw with me when it comes to these beautiful animals.
Please stay tuned as this is about to get very interesting for some folks.

04/15/2022

Good morning everyone.
Again we have a hater and her posse trying to start more drama for us.
Let me set this straight before you all jump on a band wagon. Anyone of you that know me personally know that I am a very big part of the animal activists world and will not let anyone get it twisted..NOW I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOLKS SINCE DECEMBER AND NOW I'M COMING OUT SWINGING.

1-WE ARE CLOSED TO INTAKES
2- YES I’M BEING FINED 125.00 DOLLARS A DAY (public record)
3- NO THESE ANIMALS ARE NOT ABUSED (I'll die before that happens)
4- ITS BEEN RAINING HERE EVERY DAY BUT THEY HAVE DRY SHELTER AND PLENTY OF HAY, STRAW AND SAWDUST (they need the mud for several reasons)
5-WE ARE MOVING TO A BIGGER LOCATION (will be announced when time comes)
6- STOP WITH YOUR BULLCRAP YOU KEEP POSTING ON DIFFERENT SITES (authorities have been out and checked everyone out and my records not a single one got a bad review)
7-SHELTERS ARE FINE NO DRAFTS OR SNOW IN WINTER AND COOL IN THE SUMMER (each hut has shingles and tarps( which come off when weather breaks) and the doorways are covered from rain

I HAVE NOW ADDED YOU MA'AM TO THE DEFAMATION SUIT AS WELL..
THEY ARE NOT KILLED AND EATEN OR ABUSED
YOUR PERSPECTIVE AND MINE ARE VERY DIFFERENT
PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF MY NERVES JUST STOP ALREADY. SOMETIMES YOU SHOULD TRY AND REACH OUT NOT DO WHAT YOU FOLKS ARE DOING

Good morning everyone 🐖🐖
In Layla's honor our feed store will provide us with 10 dollar bags of feed for our residents here.
Her momma came to us pregnant as well as her aunt who unfortunately lost her babies and Layla 's father.
The folks where going to start a breeding business of pot bellies and soon realized that they were in over their heads and relinquished the 3 to us.
Bailey Kleban came into our lives by doing her research and bought a home for Layla and her sister Zoey and a beautiful friendship started.
The girls quickly became Bailey's life. Well Layla a few months back started having some issues and seen a few vets. We thought that it was figured out but recently she was still having issues and Bailey decided that exploratory surgery was the best way to get to the bottom of things.
Never did we think that a mass very large would be the problem as it grew around blood vessels and organs and the best thing for Layla was to help her cross over the rainbow 🌈 bridge. As painful of a decision to make her momma didn't want her to suffer any longer and made a choice unselfish to let her go. These girls changed Bailey and helped her become a great voice for these beautiful souls. The wonderful folks at Agway want to help with her memory.
You can call the store directly or send to the sanctuary for future feed purchases..

PLEASE find something better to do with your life then tarnish people who you know nothing about or even took the time to get to know....WE WILL BE IN TOUCH. I'm leaving all the rescue groups now as she's friends with most of them. ..I don't do fake in any form
IT'S ABOUT THE ANIMALS NOT A PERSON SO NOW I HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO A CORNER AND I'M COMING OUT SWINGING. ...your not ready for this storm trust me

03/11/2022

Now with that being said please don't let me keep you here.
Those of you that have been truly a friend I thank you and to our sponsors I'm forever grateful to you.
Now I will continue to do what I do and pray for those of you who only want to be evil and think that you are superior over all... we are all supposed to support each other well I guess I am on my own...Bless your heart ❤

A beautiful lady wrote this and it should be a reminder
Thank you Wendy for letting me share this

We Are One!
We are single.
We are married. We have children and grandchildren. We are divorced or going through a separation.
We fight our own battles.
We fight silent illness.
We all come from different backgrounds.
We all lead different lives yet, We Are One. We all choose to do one thing, the same, we choose to put aside our egos, beliefs and differences and become Rescuers. We made an unspoken vow to do everything in our power to keep our wards safe. We promise to make sure they would receive the best of care and never again be in their former situations.
We reach out to others in need, those who are struggling, without judgment, so they know they are not alone. We hustle to get an animal safely placed or transported.
We know when to hand over the baton so that a rescue may continue on its path smoothly.
We know to not bring our own feelings into a situation so that a Rescue is not jeopardized.
We know we make mistakes and we own up to them and move forward.
We are all unique in our own way. We are Rescuers. We Are One!

These are the gestation crates where pigs, who are VERY good mothers when allowed to be, cannot move, do their natural nesting or rooting, or even turn around. If a baby wanders off or gets accidentally squashed, their mother can't do anything. Imagine having absolutely nothing to do all day and all night, being a loving mother, smarter than a dog, who will do anything she can, including risking her life, to save a piglet, not being able to move a foot or touch them. The babies, who can fit through the bars to nurse, (and get accidentally lost in the barn or squashed because their mother is trapped) will be taken away at 3 to 4 weeks and the mother re-impregnated.

The boy babies will have their tails and testicles cut (reportedly testosterone makes the "meat" taste musky; can’t have that) and their teeth ripped out with no anesthetic. They will be slaughtered at 4 to 7 months.

That is about one hundredth of the cost of that lovely ham sandwich or BLT. The truth about roast beef or hamburgers or mutton or lamb are equally as bad, believe me - or don't and research it. The truth about chickens and turkeys is quite a bit worse, and the truth about foie gras would keep anyone but Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin up at night.

In a world where we are all connected, is it really a mystery that in 2022, we can't stop violence?

If you want to see how wonderful pigs are, google “Julia an Incredible Pig.” The short video shows how, after losing we don’t know how many litters of babies, she refused to go into the gestation crate no matter how many times she was shocked with electrical prods. A worker recorded the cruelty, blew the whistle, and Julia was brought to Farm Sanctuary, covered from head to toe in burns, where she promptly gave birth to babies she could keep for the rest of her life. She was a very beloved pig, illustrated by the fact that Susie Coston, the shelter manager at that time, had to wait several months after Julia died to feel she could tell her story without crying.

A full length movie about a mother pig’s love is Victor Kossakovsky’s “Gunda,” To say it’s a peaceful film is an understatement. There’s an interview with the director and Gene Baur at the end of the movie. There is no music. Or dialogue. Or humans. I don’t believe it ever actually goes slower than watching paint dry. It is a strange little movie, oddly poignant and unforgettable, and very much the opposite of Julia's story before she came to Farm Sanctuary.

Happy Pig Day! This made me cry. Very good story

A very long time ago, when the earth was still new and the Father walked among the animals teaching them the wisdom that they would later teach to humans. He gave each animal a gift. He called them all together in the Garden and to some he gave the gift of beauty, to some the gift of swiftness, to some the gift of strength, and so on until each animal had received a gift from the Father. But PIG was not there, PIG was out looking for tasty roots and did not come to the Garden until the Father was giving the last animal its gift.
The PIG cried because the Father had already given out His gifts. The Father saw PIG crying and asked what was wrong. PIG said, “I was late and now you have given away all your gifts. I will have nothing to teach the humans.” The Father gently took the PIG into His lap and rubbed his ample belly, kissed his wet snout, and told him not to cry. He said, “I have saved the best gift for you PIG.” Pig said, “But I am not beautiful, or strong, or swift, I will be despised by humans.”
The Father thought for a moment on how to explain to PIG how great his gift was. Finally, after awhile He said, “PIG, you have all of those gifts and something more within you, but because they are within you it will take a very special person who is seeking greater wisdom to find them.” PIG did not understand, but PIG trusted the Father and went back to digging for roots.
Humans came to the Garden and found all the beautiful animals with their gifts. But humans didn’t care for PIG, he was not beautiful or fleet or strong, and the humans shunned PIG and didn’t want to be around him, preferring the other animals who preened and showed off their gifts. Then after awhile one woman came to PIG and sat down where PIG was eating.
It was the first time that a human had come to be with PIG, and he stopped eating and looked at her curiously. She looked deep into his eyes and saw the gift that the Father had hidden so well. And she loved PIG for who he was and respected PIG for the wonderful gift the Father had given him to share with humans.
I can’t put into words what the gift was that the Father gave to PIG. You have to look into the eyes of PIG and find it for yourself. For each human it will be different. It will be the gift they need to find to help in their search for wisdom. Not many humans will discover the gift PIG has to offer. They will be too dazzled by the gifts the Father gave to the other animals. But for those that do, they are forever changed and never see the world in quite the same way. They are the ones that root like PIG through what is on top to find treasures and gift hidden below the surface.
They are the seekers of truth who understand that the truly great gifts of wisdom are not always on the surface, but are hidden treasures to be found only by seeing with the heart instead of the eyes. ♡

🤬🤬

everyone we have a unexpected emergency here today and could really use some help.
Two of our boys had a bit of a tussle this morning and are needing medical attention.
Natzi and baby Godzilla seem to be a war and both got banged up pretty good. Vet is on the way to fix them up and give shots of antibiotics.
If you could please just donate a dollar it will help them. I can get pictures of them after as they are separated and I have babies to feed while I wait for her to get out here

Good morning it's 5.00 dollar feed Thursday again..
We have the privilege of purchasing the animals feed at a steal.
As we have had to relinquish a few of our Foster's rights to their neglect to care and maintain their responsibility for their animals here our feed bill has increased a bit.
You can call directly to our local feed store as well to make your donation.
Every dollar counts the number for our store is in the picture provided.
We purchased hay and straw yesterday so we are all set for a few weeks. Now it's time to fill their bellies
Thank you all for your love and support for these beautiful amazing animals. Your concern about my health is also dearly appreciated.
