I'll only be hand fed, thank you 🥰You guys, this guy is perfect! Guido came to us with his siblings in June 2023 after losing his human mom. He had a hard time adjusting and although he's doing better, he just isn't much of a 'big herd' kind of dude (queue all introverts!). He is the most gentle and inquisitive pig; he WANTS to be part of the action but ends up usually observing alone. He does still cuddle up to his buddy Ziggy sometimes but we worry he's lonely. Guido would be the perfect pig for first time pig parents (he'd probably like a nice bed in the house, too). If you would like to meet him please reach out and schedule a visit (PS - he likes raspberries! 😉) #kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #guido #rescue #kansascity #minipig #pigrescue #adoptme
Rollin' into the weekend like royalty! 👑King Walter is one of our special needs forever fosters. For the first 7 years of his life he was kept comfined and starved by a breeder in order to keep him 'teacup' 😒 which stunted his growth but not his internal organs, which kept growing with age. Because of this, his little body is quite sensitive and he has some special requirements regarding food and air temps. He is currently living it up with his foster family. He gets to go on lots of car rides, enjoys time with his pig sister (well, kind of), loves study snuggles with his human momma and gets oreo snacks on special occasions. Keep on living like the king you are, Walty! And remember TEACUP PIGS DON'T EXIST!! #kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #adoptdontshop #pigrescue #minipig #teacuppigsdontexist #kansascity #foster #weekend
Welcome, Daphne!
Daphne came to us as a stray last week. After threats were made about her being shot, a kind couple went out of their way to contain and keep her safe until Angela and Katie could go get her.
She's healthy amd friendly but is in need of a spay and some quiet human interaction to help her compress from the recent changes in her life. While we don't know much about her yet, we are so happy she has found rescue and we can't wait to get to know her better.

Huuuuge thank you to everyone who came out to our 2nd Fright Night at Circle A Farm this weekend! 🎃👻💀With your help, we raised vital funds to support the pigs for the coming winter. We hope everyone had fun and didn't get too scared in the Haunted Forest! #kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #halloween #rescuepig #happyhalloween #kansascity #rescue #thankyou
The girls are getting spayed!
No matter what you may have read or been told...yes, your pigs need to be altered! An pig that isn't fixed is not only in danger of fatal health conditions but also poses a safety risk as they are agressive and moody.
We get a lot of messages from pig parents asking why their once calm pig is now terrorizing them. They are often afraid they will not be able to keep their pet due to the mood swings and behavior. But a simple snip fixes the problem and not only is the pig happier and healthier, but so is the owner.
The girls will be back in a day or so to recover and then be ready for their forever families. If you have questions about your pig's behavior, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. 💕

Ever seen a piglet with her head in a watermelon? 🍉Now you have! Jade and Brandi had the best time at Midwest Soul Vegfest this weekend. They got tons of snuggles, taught people a lot about KCPRN and why we do what we do, and got to enjoy a watermelon all to themselves! Plus, we sll got to enjoy some amazing vegan food and support the local community. See you next year, Vegfest!! ✌🏼#kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #vegfest #friendsnotfood #watermelon #kansascity #piglet #pigsaspets #rescue #kunekune

One of the best feelings in the whole wide world has got to be catching a shy pig on a brave day. Brindle is a sweet gentle boy, but definitely prefers keeping to himself. Or at least prefers other pigs to people, particularly his brother Paxton. These boys were rescued a few years back by our friends at Hog Haven Farm and are now with us. They are patiently awaiting their turn to be noticed, chosen and loved. These moments of courage mean a lot to us. We love to see the more timid pigs come out of their shell and interact with us by choice. It is such a big deal and a sign of more good things to come. Although it isn't obvious while he is still sporting his summer buzz cut, when Brindle's hair grows back in for the colder months, he is a beautiful two toned brindle boy. His brother Paxton is solid white and both are in great health. We are hopeful there is someone out there with a little extra patience, to help these sweeties gain more confidence and have more brave boy moments. 🥰🤞💝 Please let us know if you are interested in meeting Brindle and his brother Paxton!
WE LOVE ADULT PIGS. My GOSH there are so many advantages to adopting adults and even seniors. Small breed pigs have lengthy natural life spans, some surpassing 20 years of age. Of course there are many factors and not all will live two full decades, but many pigs live well into their teen years and beyond. These two cuties, Bella and Buttkus are roughly 10 years old and spent the vast majority of their lives with a wonderful owner. Kimberly passed of natural causes in her home Summer 2023, leaving behind 4 pigs. With the help of Kimberly's loving family, Bella, Kuttkus, Ziggy and Guido were relocated to Willeyville Farm, our Cleveland MO location. They have spent the last year+ mourning their loss and settling into a new space. While Ziggy and Guido remain in our larger herd of adoptable adult piggies, Bella and Buttkus were moved to a private pen. These two pigs are so gentle, sweet and curious. They are shy with new people but once they recognize you, they enjoy saying hello and spending time close by. They are deeply bonded and very healthy for their age. They have had the advantage of a loving momma and a healthy, safe, happy home. They know what they're missing being in foster care, unlike the pigs who come to us as strays, or from abuse/neglect cases. Bella and Buttkus remember what it is like to wake up in a home of their very own and we would love nothing more than to see them return to one. If you're interested in learning more, and would consider sharing your home/yard with a couple deserving souls (with a lot of life left to live), please reach out. We would love to talk more.

I will never stop being amazing by the resilience of our snouted friends. There is SO MUCH to learn from them, if we could just slow down and listen. Spending quiet one on one time with our pigs is a favorite activity for all our volunteers. It is such a gift to witness the step by step changes in the hearts and minds of pigs who come to us from the most deplorable of places. You would never know Miss Phoebe was neglected, abandoned, left behind. You would never know of her broken heart, losing a friend. You would never know she had endured such carelessness or recklessness.
Phoebe is resilient. She is forgiving. She is curious. She is affectionate. She is loving. She is grateful. Pretty dang cute too. After being kicked out of her local home, neighbors rallied to bring her to safety. They worked for days and days, together, to ensure she made it to a safe space. They are her heroes, and we are more than happy to take things from here. Soon Phoebe's prior life will be a distant memory and she has her whole future ahead, thanks to those kind individuals who saw her in need and gathered together to help. Her story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. We're so glad the inspiring portion is the beginning of the rest of her life. Thank you for keeping us out here doing this important work. Pigs are so often overlooked, forgotten, discarded, thought of at only food and nothing more. They are SO MUCH MORE though. They are individuals. Often stronger and more resilient than us. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue learning from them. I hope we never stop.
If you would like to meet Phoebe and support out efforts, come on out to KCPRN's Sunset Yoga at Willeyville Farm this Friday at 5PM. We would love to tell you more about who we are, what we do, and why.
Best actor in a lead drama role goes to...LEWIS 🏆🎬 this guy is dramatic ALL THE TIME. He's dramatic before, during and after breakfast. He's dramatic while taking a nap. He's dramatic during snack time. He's dramatic both when he does or does not get his way. He's dramatic when you walk by, he's dramatic when you don't walk by. 🤣 As the contending top hog (Ziggy is a good challenger), this guy is also dramatic when bossing the other pigs (he likes to nip butts 🥴) and, you guys, he makes us laugh every single day. While non agressive he also doesn't necessarily seek out human attention. If you are looking for a pig who will contuniously make you smile with his unecessary drama, he's your man. Oh, and he comes with one of the only other pigs he doesn't sass around, his buddy Clark. Sound on. 📣🤦🏻♀️@willeyvillefarm #kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #lewis #adoptme #drama #kansascity #dramatic #rescue #minipig
😍 Mama Michelle 😍Mama is doing SO well compared to when she arrived months ago. She's no longer guarded and afraid and is starting to crave human attention more and more. She has the darkest eyes and cutest freckled snoot. She was rescued from a farmer with her very young piglets after i good samaritan stepped up and advocated for her liberation. She is no longer know as '10 month old girl' and will live a long, full life of love. We love you, Mama. ❤️#kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #pigrescue #kunekune #piglets #kansascity #pig #minipig
