My goodness the weather has been so bizarre this past couple weeks, but today is the day we drop back into winter. It is the warmest right now it will be for the foreseeable future. It will drop a few dozen degrees before dark tonight and we are spending the morning preparing the piggies. These big swings are tough on animals who live outdoors, with little opportunity to acclimate slowly. Jimmy here can’t decide if he should be indoors or outdoors, but he sure is an adorable old man. Jimmy is one of our solo seniors who would be thrilled to find a home to call his very own, as a solo piggy or part of a small herd. Despite being an older gentleman, he is one of the most active pigs in the rescue and has a lot of years left to enjoy. He sure would like to do that in a private family home where he can be the star of the show! Let us know if you would like to meet Jimmy and his friends.

Sissy came to us in 2019 after being surrendered by an owner who didn’t believe pigs need vet care. Since then, she’s been fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated and is physically healthy.

Calm, gentle, and non aggressive, Sissy tends to keep to herself, preferring quiet moments and the comfort of her favorite tarp where she feels safe. At breakfast, she’s polite yet determined; she doesn’t steal from others, but she definitely doesn’t share either, content to simply shovel it in. While she’s not the most outgoing pig, she has a soft, quiet grace and is deeply deserving of someone who sees her, even when she isn’t asking to be seen. Message if you'd like to meet Sissy!

Nothing to see here, just our very own Tiny King Walter on a holiday lights stroll. 💝🎄🎅 We hope you are all able to slow down and create some memories today/this week as you gather with loved ones (including our friends on four legs). Time is such a gift and we hope you spend yours with those you hold most dear - like Walter and his foster momma Dr. Emily. Happy Holidays everyone! 🎁✨

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Jade here and I wanted to share an update on our precious little Dolly❤️

You may remember back in September we posted about Dolly, one of our “truck jumper” pigs who was found on the side of the highway in Topeka. Dolly saved herself that day by jumping off the transport truck. Our brave girl knew there was more out there for her and that people would love her.

Dolly did sustain a broken leg and had to be casted. She was on crate rest for several weeks. Thank you all so much for the support and for helping us cover the vet care she so desperately needed. Her leg has healed beautifully and you can hardly even tell she ever broke it. She is now a busy, happy, lively little girl!

We love pigs, especially big pigs. They hold such a huge place in my heart. Our first truck jumper was my sweet girl Petunia, who also came to us with that same back leg broken. Dolly reminded me of her in so many ways and I knew she was special. I made a promise to Petunia when she passed that no matter what jumper we took in, I would personally work my butt off to find them a loving home because they all deserve to live a life as she did. Their bravery saved them and the least I can do is help them along the way.

We are incredibly careful about where we place our pigs, especially our large breeds. Finding a home that truly wants a large pig as a pet and can accommodate their size is very important and honestly hard to come by. My good friend Erika at played a huge part in this placement. Erika connected me with our adopter and the rest is history.

This week Dolly made the trip from Kansas to California and arrived safely with her new family. She now has several pig siblings and 120 acres to explore. Her new family was already so in love with her before she even arrived. I am beyond grateful to Carly and her family for opening their hearts and home to our precious girl.

Finding Dolly the perfect home is truly the best Christmas gift ever. I hope this Christmas you remember the story of the brave little pig who saved herself and got her Christmas miracle.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, especially for the donations toward her transport that we shared last week. It truly means more than you could ever imagine. We are so incredibly touched and grateful and we truly could not continue this work without you.

Next up in our KCPRN Holiday Fashion Show is Göttingen 13! He's currently operating under a temporary name while he figures out who he wants to be.

These three sweet boys just returned to the rescue today after very successful neuters and are officially in their rest, heal, and be adorable era. We’re giving them time to decompress and show off their personalities before assigning forever names.

For now, this little guy is rocking his reindeer look—and reminding us why patience, care, and second chances matter so much. 🦌❤️

First up in the KCPRN Christmas fashion show is...ODESSA!

This gentle boy is more than just calm; his kindness is felt the moment you meet him. It radiates through the rescue, quiet and steady, and it’s impossible not to soften and smile around him. He loved every second of posing for his holiday photos, soaking up the attention with that sweet, trusting soul of his.

If you’re looking for a boy who will bring warmth, loyalty, and a truly genuine heart into your home, Odessa is waiting. He’s ready to be someone’s everything. Message us if you’d like to meet this special boy. 🥰

Mulligan, Finnegan, and Branagan are heading in for their life altering neuters tomorrow! This important step will help them settle, relax, and let their true personalities shine as they continue growing at the rescue.

These curious boys are busy taking in every new sound, smell, pig, and person they meet. Today’s highlights included tomatoes and dragon fruit 🍅🐉

Once they’ve healed, they’ll be available for adoption. If you’re interested in meeting these sweet, adventurous boys or learning more about adoption, please reach out; we’d love to help them find their forever homes.

Ludo and Odessa are two very good boys. We haven’t shared much about them since they arrived to the farm in November. They had been in a private family home for many years. Odessa (right) was their owner’s s first rescue pig and Ludo came along a couple years later after being abandoned in the basement of a rental home here in Kansas City. They boys get along okay but never bonded closely in their years together. Their family had a traumatic emergency and needed to leave their home in a hurry. With the help of local pig parents Alison and Richard, the boys made it to the farm just before Thanksgiving. It is always difficult to see the pigs whom have known a true loving home lose it. Many pigs that come into rescue have never known nurture or safety and for them, the farm is the best it has ever been! For those who have been one of one or two of two in a private home full of attention and care, the farm is confusing. There is a lot of commotion. People and pigs coming and going often. Some faces they see every day. Some they see every week. And some they see just once or here and there. Who are all these people? Why are we here now? Do we live here now? With time and gentle patience, they learn that although life is different now, it is going to be okay. After a month at the farm, these boys thankfully seem to understand that they really are okay and life really is still going to be good. It will of course get much better when they get to go to a private family home again. They both LOVE attention and affection. We spend as much time loving on the pigs as we can, but with so many in our care, it is difficult to give them all the time they’re used to. Ludo and Odessa seem to be getting along better all the time and perhaps even leaning into their brotherhood after years of just tolerating one another. Ludo (left) is a docile loverboy who is happy to wait his turn. Odessa is the top hog, and isn’t afraid to ask for our attention. Both are gentle and sweet, and appreciate one on one time. At around 10 years old, they’re happy active and healthy with a lot of years left to enjoy. If you’re considering adding piggies to your lives, these guys are real gems.

13 and 8 are learning how to be pigs for the very first time. After spending the beginning of their lives in a medical testing lab, the world they’ve stepped into now is completely new; warm sun on their backs, straw beneath their feet, chilly air, soft blankets, fresh water bowls, unfamiliar sounds and smells, and even the comfort of another pig beside them.

Every small thing we take for granted is something they’re experiencing for the first time. Watching them pause, process, and slowly lean into this new life is incredibly hopeful. They’re already beginning to trust us, to explore, and to settle in. Their life changing neuters are scheduled as the next step forward.

We’re still searching for the right names for these two, along with our other intake from gbks group, 28. We are looking for names that reflect resilience, gentleness, and second chances. If you have suggestions, we’d love to hear them!

Good morning pig family. Yesterday, this gentle soul previously know as #13 was released to our care. He, #8 and #23 are gottingen breed pigs who have spent the last 8 months as test patients for a clinical trial at a biomedical research facility. We are grateful for the opportunity to save their lives and help them adjust to their freedom. In the lab setting, they are in a sterilize environment -free from dust, sun, wind, other animals, any allergens etc. Yesterday was an amazing day because they got to leave the lab and that life previously lived for a bright beautiful future. Typically this is all good news for a pig! While it IS good news, it is also a difficult time. There is so much change. The world outside the lab is BRIGHT! It is cold! It is loud! There are soooo many new things to see and smell. There is so much stimulus. There is so much overwhelm. There is so much newness all at once. There is also safety. There is love. There are treats! There are belly scratches. There are soft touches and gentle words. There are friends to be made. Thank goodness the weather is looking more mild this week. These boys were originally set to be released this past Friday, and reaching single digit temps over the weekend would have been very difficult for them. They were able to stay at the lab until yesterday afternoon and now have a week in the 30s to 50s to adjust to the outdoors in. They are decompressing in indoor barn stalls and set to all be neutered on the 22nd. As medical trial patients, they are not able to be altered in any way. So in addition to being neutered, they will also receive their first vaccinations, de- worming medications and anything else they may need.

We need your help with two things: 1) raising $900 to provide their initial veterinary care and 2) names! Numbers 8, 13 and 23 are simply not going to do it. Please drop your name suggestions for three handsome boys in the comments, and donate if you can. Comments and shares go a long way to helping us reach more people as well!

Dollys transport fundraiser! Our baby girl is leaving for her new home in California soon and we could really use some help getting her there. Although she is small, it can still be quite costly to safely transport a piggy across country. She has come such a long way since the little baby we took in in September. Her broken leg is completely healed! We cannot wait to watch her running around her new home in California and exploring with her new family! If you were able to donate to her transportation cost, you may do so through our link below thank you to our friends at Sisu for helping us out!
