Good morning from this beautiful still nameless brave baby boy. He was brought into the Lawrence Humane Society yesterday, where one of our "big kid" adopters works. She contacted us immediately and ensure he received the vital medical care that is so urgent for these truck jumpers. The first few days after a tiny yorkshire piglet falls from a semi truck to the interstate is imperative. It is VERY uncommon that these babies escape without fractures or other major injuries. In his case, he is fracture free! This is two truck jumpers in a row who have made it to safety without severe injury. Because these piglets will grow to be 700-1000+ lbs, it is mandatory that they receive the care they need to correct any breaks right away. This lucky little boy is doing great, minus several abrasions. You can see his banged up perfect snooty and ears, but again NO FRACTURES which is a rarity! He will arrive to our care later today and will be searching for a forever home where he can live and love and safety for all the days of his natural life. We have tossed around a few names but nothing has stuck yet, so if you have a suggestion, please drop it in the comments. We hope this would go without saying but will say it anyway, any pork related name suggestions will be removed and anyone suggesting them will be banned from our page. Pigs are friends not food and we hope this beautiful face stays on your mind when you're making your food choices today (and every day). Have a wonderful day everyone!

Summer of 2020 was a pretty wild time. We were a couple months into COVID and there were so many unknowns. Like many others, our team member Katie was furloughed from her job working in travel. She had ample time on her hands a lot of big scaries about the future. She decided to use a lot of that time making the farm a more beautiful place for the piggies and people visiting. She began painting murals on our shelters and barns... free-hand, with little to no plan for each one, which still amazes me. She eventually got to go back to working and.... so did our pigs ha ha. Working on "breaking in" those shelters and barns. In some cases... just breaking them. The volume of piggies housed in these shelters over the last 5 years has been immense. We have been grateful for the pops of color during the long gray winters, and have enjoyed the smiles they've brought throughout our event seasons. We have occasionally laughed as a pig barreled through a beautiful painted wall as well. We are ready to re-do several of our shelters which means re-doing some paint and some murals!

We would be more than happy to take any paint CANS off your hands. We don't need full cans. We don't need specific colors. We just need paint! We cannot take/utilize spray paint on the barns but any interior or exterior paint cans are great and much appreciated! We would LOVE to have any useable brushes, trays, drop cloths etc as well. We have a few drop-off options around the metro. Shoot us your location in a message and we will figure out what is most convenient for you! Thank you!

Kansas City Pig Rescue Network has two events coming up in July and we are SO excited! The first will be Saturday July 12th from 11am-1pm - this will be our SEVENTH year hosting Watermelon Fest! We LOVE this casual event and can't wait to smash melons for the pigs with yall. This year, Watermelon Fest will be held at our Cleveland MO location, Willeyville Farm. We hope to see you there!
KCPRN's 7th Annual Watermelon Fest

Second, we are VERY VERY excited to welcome Jordan Williams from Homebody Hands back to teach her second yoga class with the pigs! We are asking participants to arrive between 8:00-8:15am on Sunday July 20th, for yoga to kick off at 8:30. We're trying to beat the heat with this one and are looking forward to an earlier class than we have tried before! After class wraps up, we are thrilled to host the supremely missed talents from Kendell/Happy Apple Cafe! That's right friends - the beloved creative shop that once set on Troost in KCMO is coming to the farm. He's been before to sling out his dishes and sold out in no time! Keep an eye out for menu announcements and pre-ordering instruction as the event gets closer. Kendell will be serving brunch from 10am-noon OR SELL OUT.

Speaking of the more shy pigs... 🥹🥹 Bear was adopted a couple of weeks ago after more than a year in our foster program. He came into last year as a stray. Although Bear had made a lot of social progress with us, when he left us for his forever home, he still preferred a healthy distance from us humans. Within a couple short weeks, he is approaching his momma for snackies and maybe even a quick pet. We are so proud of this boy!

Behind the scenes at the rescue 😊

Amidst all the work, we sneak in as much quiet time with the pigs as possible. It's very rewarding to see the more reserved pigs shine and be brave when there's only a couple of us around. We have watched hundreds of reserved pigs break out of their shells over the years with time, patience and love. Annie (bonded with Cookie), Sissy and Sherlock are all available for adoption and are looking for a family that can give them time to heal and learn to love again. Happy Friday, everyone. ❤️

Nothing to see here, just perfection. 😍

Alvin is still available for adoption! He has been recovering well from a traumatic situation which landed him KCPRN in May. He was a little stressed at our first yoga event, however, has since come out of his shell and is living solely for belly scratches. He is a tiny guy and we are still learning his personality, but he's already come so far in his short time with us. This heartthrob is a steal. Please message if you would like to meet Alvin! 😍

Everyone please join us in sending good energy to Meadowlark and Dr. Koch today. Today is spay day! The first picture here is from our beautiful girl this week. The next picture is the difference in just a few days post rescue. The rest are intake day last year. Meadowlark was found in her owners home after he had passed due to substance related troubles. Meadowlark was scared, confused and protective of her dad's remains. A very kind and patient animals control officer asked us for help and we were happy to be able to step in. The owners daughter contacted us to let us know that despite her father's struggles, he loved her. He did his best to provide for her needs and she kept him going on some dark days. Meadowlark has been through so much but her spirit is resilient. In fact she is sunshine itself. Today is the last step of her healing journey, the all important spay day! We are thankful she is with Dr. Koch and know she is in the best of hands. She has worked hard to gain slow and steady weight and is ready for today. Please send them good energy regardless, every little bit helps. See you real soon beautiful girl.

Please help us welcome newcomer Opal to the farm.

To be frank, Opal is having a hard time – perhaps the hardest transition a new intake has had coming to the farm in years. She arrived over the weekend and is beside herself. She is hurt and confused right now but we know she will be okay in time. We know our team and volunteers will show her patience, kindness and grace. She will find confidence and happiness as she is ready, and we’re happy to give her all the time she needs.

Like many pigs, Opal lost her home/family due to divorce. A couple of years ago, her parents decided to split. We were told her primary parent left their home for a rental with the intention of getting on their feet and bringing Opal home. Opal's other parent agreed to keep her at home and care for her needs in the mean time. Two years has since passed and that second parent is now moving. Opal would have to go through a difficult change regardless, so the time has come for Opal to come into foster care for stabilization until a forever home is found.

Honestly, she is heartbroken. We have seen many pigs grieve over the years but this beautiful majestic gal is taking it pretty tough. :’( Please send some encouragement her way. We will make sure to read her all your words of support. We are hopeful someone is waiting to meet a soul just like hers, and will offer her a stable, loving, patient home to live out the rest of her days. She deserves that and we’re going to make sure she gets it. Welcome to the farm baby girl, we love you so SO much.

Every time I see the piggo emojis, I imagine a piggo getting closer - probably approaching to ask for snackies or a beller rub.

Jimmy LOVES snackies and also occasional pets. He is one of our senior gentlemen, who came to us from our friends at Hog Haven Farm in Colorado. The hope has been that he will have more exposure to adoptive families in our program, but after a couple of years he is still waiting for his perfect person. Jimmy is a sweet man who doesn't let his age slow him down at all. In fact, he is one of our most active and athletic piggies! He gets along well with all other pigs and is such an easy going, independent dude. Jimmy's ideal home would be with either a family who is home a lot and wants to (patiently) bond with their piggy, or a home with another pig or two. He enjoys socialization with the other pigs but isn't a needy guy. Jimmy has two other pig friends from Colorado who are also older, super active, healthy, independent boys (Paxton and Brindle) and he would be elated to find a home with them as well!

When you ask what is next on the chore list 😒

The work never ends around here. KCPRN is a 501c3 non profit that is fully volunteer run. This means ALL duties are done by a small handful of volunteers who all have full time jobs. Just some of these include feeding, barn/fencing maintenance and repair, stuffing straw, p**p scooping, vet appointments, in home visits and consults, watering, posting and responding on social media, organizing events, adoption visits, farm tours and volunteer orientations and pig socialization and rehabilitation just to name a few. It's hard and continuous work and there are often chores we don't want to do (like driving T Posts into the ground) but the rewards outweigh all else.

If you think you would like to volunteer, you can sign up for an orientation via or LinkTree. All capabilities are welcome. Most be 16 years or older.
