A Lilly after the storm 🌸We had terrible storms last night and figured this was a perfect morning to highlight our sweet Lilly, who has weathered many storms to find her sunshine. ☀️Lilly is one of our permanent resident piggies, due to her specialized care needs. Lilly came to us many years ago barely able to walk. Her legs were buckled and she is permanently impaired due to prolonged confinement. Her tendons are far too short to allow her to straighten her legs and walk like a normal pig. She has her own way of doing things though, and nobody could hold this girl back! Lilly is just as active as the rest of the piggies and LOVES basking in the sun. She is an independent sassy girl who is every bit deserving of a full life. She receives professional massage therapy and chiropractic adjustments regularly to keep her as mobile and comfortable as possible. Your support is what allows us to provide the opportunity for a full life to special pigs like Lilly. Thank you to all our supporters, foster families and health management providers. We can't do it without you. ☀️❤️

Joaquin Phoenix once said "Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow". This limited time fundraiser design will be available for the next 14 days and sales from this design will help us pay for Thad's surgery this week. At 1000 lbs, the amount of anesthesia needed to safety sedate him will be immense (and costly). While we are very nervous about the tumor removal on Wednesday, we are hopeful to get the answers we need to keep Thad safe and healthy - hopefully for many years to come.

Nearly 6 years ago, a kind and brave man named Thad pulled over on the side of the interstate to save the fragile and previous life of our biggest baby. Human Thad ran to pig Thad's rescue with love, and the result has been many years of peace for our not so little boy. This is something so few animal agriculture survivors get a chance to have. Please let both human Thad and pig Thad be an inspiration for kindness, bravery and standing in the gap. Thank you for standing with us, and loving these gentle deserving souls as much as we do. Thad's life matters and it will continue to do so. Thank you for providing this life saving procedure. We've felt your love and support every day since breaking the tough news earlier this week. We love you all so much.

If you would like to snag a design from this limited time design, you can find many styles, sizes and colors here: https://www.bonfire.com/thad/ (or through the Bonfire Merch link in our bio).

We thought Spring was here, but we got fooled! Our special needs Amber is getting extra snuggles on this cold night and she's not arguing about it. ❤️

This is one of my favorite pictures of our big baby Thad, and a handful of very cool humans who love him a whole lot. Unsurprisingly, there are so so so many of you out there who love him too. On Monday we posted about his upcoming surgery to remove a large quickly growing tumor that reared its ugly head recently. We shared out worries, our love and our need for help and support. Also unsurprisingly, you guys really showed up for Thad, from Kansas City to Canada and many places in between. So far, $1,500 has come in to help us cover Thad's surgery. After the tumor is removed, we will need to send the tissue off for testing, and hope to find that the tumor is benign. The pace at which is has grown has us feeling pretty scared but we know we aren't alone and neither is Thad. So please continue to keep him in your hearts and minds, and if you are able, send a few bucks towards his procedure and recovery costs.

✨Meet Orien 💫Orien is a quiet and independent dude who never seems to get much attention. He arrived in March of 2022 and has almost been picked several times, but hasn't found the right people yet. He's a plump, short little fellow with numerous spots across his body. In the summer when he blows his coat it looks like a constellation, hence the name Orien. He coexists peacefully with all the other pigs but does prefer to keep to himself most of the time. He's quiet and polite and would make a great addition to an existing herd or even as a solo pig. Please reach out if you'd like to meet this adorable guy.

Good morning friends. We are coming to you today with heavy hearts, stressed minds, and hopeful spirits. If you have followed us for any amount of time, or visited our Cleveland MO location, Willeyville Farm - you know this face. His name is Thad, and he is our biggest baby, gentlest giant, and most recognizable snoot. Unfortunately, over the last big snow, Angela came out for breakfast to find an alarming amount of blood. The blood was coming from a tumor on Thad's side that popped up VERY quickly. The tumor is about the size of a balled fist. Our beloved Dr. Koch was able to come out to the farm when the weather broke, and together we decided that the safest path forward is surgical removal. Thad is roughly 1,000 lbs and the amount of anesthesia needed to safely sedate him will be immense, and also costly. While Thad's well being is of course our focus, we know this will be an expensive procedure and we need your help. Unfortunately it is difficult to provide an estimate because we simply have not yet had to face surgery for a piggy of Thad's size. Neither has Dr. Koch, but we are confident in him and he is confident in his ability to help Thad through this challenge. Essentially a football sized oval of tissue surrounding Thad's tumor will have to be removed - in order to ensure the entire mass and affected cells are removed. The tissue will then be grafted back onto Thad's side. We are very hopeful this tumor is benign, and will be sending off the collected tissue for biopsy. Again, this is expensive. We MUST know what we are dealing with in order to provide preventative care for our most special boy. We are humbly asking for your help in providing Thad the care he needs. If you could also send some love and support Food Lady's way, we would appreciate that as well. The bond between Thad and Angela is unlike anything else in this world, and this will be a difficult time for all of us - but none more than Thad and Angela. Thad's best friend Harley and their "big sis" Veda will be looking forward to his return as well. Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, March 26th.

Beautiful Berfa

This perfect face is looking for a forever home! You might not be able to tell by a picture, but our miss Berfa is an athlete. She has worked so hard to lose 75-100 pounds since coming into our foster program in January of 2023. She was able to be safely spayed after losing her excess weight, and has successfully kept the weight off for a whole year. Obesity in pigs is one of the most dangerous situations a pig can be in. Their joints and organs are not designed to hold so much extra weight, and begin to break down under the pressure. Getting Berfa healthy was slow going but essential for a long healthy life. When she arrived to our care, she was fat blind. This caused her to live in fear of the world around her. As a prey animals, imagine how scary it would be to be blind! She also couldn't get around very well, so if there was danger, not only would she not see it coming... but she wouldn't be able to get away from a predator. That is NO WAY for a piggy to live, physically, mentally or emotionally. We are SO PROUD of Berfa!!!!!!!! It is a JOY to see her live a super active life with her friends. Berfa is a gentle soul who enjoys attention and affection, but she doesn't demand it. She is happy to be included and also happy to entertain herself. The best of both worlds really! If you are interested in meeting Berfa, please shoot us a message or apply online at kcpigrescuenetwork.org/KCPRN.

If Guido were a human he would be the type of guy that holds the door open for you, brings you flowers just to say I love you and makes sure the dishes are always done and laundry always folded. We bet he'd smell real nice, too. Guido is an all around good guy and we don't understand how he hasn't been swept off his feet yet, just like he does to everyone he meets. If you need a gentleman in your life, Guido is the guy for you. Please reach out if you'd like to meet him!

Last week, we asked you to guess which adorable b***y was pictured in a post. The correct answer was big man Ziggy, a bossy, silly, vocal, goofy guy who joined us in June 2023. He came with 3 friends, whom had all lived for ~10 years with their momma here in Kansas City. Miss Kim was a very interesting woman who lived with some medical challenges. Her pet pigs were her greatest comfort, her babies, her pride, her joy. Ziggy and Guido enjoyed their days in her beautiful yard and nights inside Kim’s home. Bella and Butkus preferred their fabulous custom outdoor house. All four pigs loved their human momma, but none more than Ziggy. Kim unfortunately passed in her home of natural causes. A heartbroken and confused Ziggy guarded her body from law enforcement, leading to her family reaching out for help. A mutual friend and pig mom helped us organize the relocation of all four pigs to the farm. Kim’s family helped us a great deal and treated them with so much love and care in her absence. These pigs spent the next several months mourning their loss together. We’re coming up on two years since this major change in their lives. Now at 11-13 years of age, all four are still looking for a forever home. A private family home like they were accustomed to, to live out their days with a family who loves them as much as Miss Kim did. If you or someone you know has it in their hearts to welcome some very special babes with many years left to enjoy, we would love to chat.

Tell me Spring is coming without telling me Spring is coming 🌸

Aretha is an all white pigs, folks! We almost didn't recognize her when doing waters today as she has taken her first long dip in the wallow after a harsh winter and is MUDDY. Muddy pigs definitely mean Spring is on her way! Aretha is our resident beauty queen (even when a bit dirty) and is available for adoption. Message if you'd like to meet her!

Just listen to them, they are ALL starving to death. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ugh, ANOTHER round of icky gross snow on the ground this morning. Let's circle back to this past weekend, when it was a beautiful 60 degrees and sunny. we're returning to these temps in a couple days and we can't wait. Since the ground has thawed recently, we've been hard at work at the farm. We are still in the process of revamping our fencing and improving our pens, shelters, grounds etc. This time of year can be quite overwhelming, as there is so much to do, and typically such a short window between the Spring thaw and the Summer heat. We have so much to do! We are in the constant pursuit of improving things for the pigs and our team members caring for them. Thank you for keeping us up and running!

Your support means the world to us and your generosity funds our essential projects, vet care, feed and more. STILL, what we ALWAYS need most is qualified forever homes for our piggies. Many of the current foster pigs at KCPRN are between 5-12 years old (like mother/daughter pair Cookie and Annie) which is such a wonderful time to adopt. With a lifespan of 15-20+ years, our small breed adoptable adults have lots of years ahead to enjoy with their future families. Adopting young adults - seniors comes with many benefits. Mostly, the pig(s) is set into their personality. We have had enough time with them to get to know their individual quirks, challenges, preferences, energy levels, dominant/submissive personalities etc. We would LOVE the opportunity to help qualified families find the pig or piggies that match their family! Please reach out today if you're interested in exploring the possibility of pet piggy parenthodd.

Please join us in wishing a VERY happy birthday to the President of KCPRN, Kayli! We mean it when we say this girl has a heart that may just be too big for her body. When she loves, she loves entirely and without restraint. Not only is she a devoted advocate and protector of the pigs, but she is also a fierce and outspoken defender of all animals, human rights, and the environment. Kayli has a way with words that resonates with people and encourages them to think a little deeper about the world around them. When she isn’t spending time taking care of the pigs at KCPRN, you can often find her supporting small local businesses, promoting and providing education on veganism or taking care of her beautiful plants and personal animals. To put it simply, this girl does and is all that is good in the world and we cannot even count the number of animal lives she has aided in saving. Thank you for all you do and we hope you have a beautiful day filled with everything you love most, you deserve it!

These boys might be a bit shy but gosh are they handsome. Brindle and Paxton are biological brothers, originally rescued in 2016 from a hoarding situation. They were entirely feral at the time and have slowly but surely gotten more comfortable with humans. Brindle is more curious and independent, and Paxton more outgoing and social with the other pigs. Neither have ever caused any trouble or drama with the larger herd of adoptable pigs. They would make excellent companions for a patient and gentle person or family who simply wants to provide safely and security to some deserving boys. We do believe whole heartedly that they will continue to push themselves, to interact and get more and more comfortable with their person or family. We can't wait to see them continue to thrive in a place that is just for them. 🥰 Let us know if you would like to meet these cuties!

Teaser post! 🤫Tonight we got in THREE new rescued Gottingen lab pigs. 🥹 Stay tuned for more on their story but for now please welcome these tiny boys to their new lives!

Two things we love a whole lot; one, SUNSHINE. Two, blossoming friendships. 🌸 Sherlock (on the left) lost his best friend Ethel this year and hasn't really made any friends since. Josie, who has been with us over 5 years, used to be buddies with Charles who now seems to prefers the more introverted life. So, last night when we saw then enjoying the sun near each other it warmed our hearts as much as the sunshine. Both deserve the best and there's nothing much better than a best friend, we can't wait to watch their friendship blossom. ☀️

There is NOTHING sweet Rose likes more than snuggling. This girl is so so special. A lot of piggies are affectionate and enjoy human companionship and scritches and such, but Rose is next level. We would LOVE to find Rose a home where she can be indoor/outdoor and spend LOTS of time with her person or family. She has been spayed, vaccinated and dewormed so she is ready to find her happily ever after! Please let us know if you are interested in meeting Rose, or get started by applying online. kcpigrescuenetwork.org/adopt

A little TLC before we encounter temps of -10 WITHOUT the windchill. Tonight we made sure everyone got a drink and then were safely tucked in bed. It's always quite scary with temperatures like these, but we have done everything we can and promised them that SPRING IS COMING. 🌸☀️ stay safe and warm out there, everyone! #kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #pigrescue #winter #kansascity #nightcap #brrr

HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY to the one who does it all. The one who busts her butt for the pigs. The one who makes it happen. No matter the challenge, the weather, the stress, the timing etc, Angela is gonna get it done. We celebrate this woman today and every day, as she is waking up on her birthday and heading outside into the Midwestern winter nonsense to feed, water and wellness check our dozens of foster pigs. Caring for outdoor animals over the winter months, here in the Midwest, is no joke - and there are no days off. Wake up feeling sick? Piggos still need breakfast. Wake up to a blizzard? Piggos still need breakfast. Wake up to personal, family or businesses needs? Piggos still need breakfast. The cold months caring for the pigs are long and daunting. Naturally Angela's birthday would fall in the middle of it every year. And year after year, her love, care and dedication to these animals remains the same. Angela is one to step up to the plate, regardless of the circumstances or how tired, stressed or gosh dang cold she is. THANK YOU ANGELA, for everything you do for our community, our team and of COURSE our piggies every single day. Including your birthday. You are one in a million and we would be so very lost without you hard work and commitment to those in your care (including us two legged weirdos who rely on you just as much as all these critters). We love you Ang, happy birthday!@willeyvillefarm #kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #kansascity #rescue #happybirthdy
