Good morning piggy people! We hope you are all staying warm safe and dry. Our alumni Alexander is doing just that, inside with his favorite person.
When Alex came to us, it was 2019 and he was a young babe. He was feral and petrified of humans, after living in grotesque conditions with many other pigs. His transformation is 100% thanks to his mom. She began volunteering with us around that time and was later engaged at the farm during a volunteer shift. She and her husband researched zoning ordinances in the metro and bought their first home with Alexander in mind. He has a wonderfully huge yard and a walk-out basement so he can spend time indoors. Over the years, his family added and adorable baby girl and they are best pals. Alexander remains so gentle and sweet with his small human. Here she is practicing his counting on Alexander's "belly buttons" while he enjoys the extra attention and affection. 💝🥰
Alexander really hit the jackpot with his family who love him so much, even through changes and additions to their family. We love that so much, and this sweet moment is ultra motivational to get some more piggies HOME. Let us know if you're interested in piggy adoption!!
You guys, we probably won't breathe or stop for the next week as the winter storm approaches and hits. Here is just a little insight into what we do several times a day to make sure our pigs (and Guido) stay safe and warm. Thank you so much for all your support as we navigate these terrible winter months and super thanks to Stacey for this informative video, we love and appreciate you more than you know!

Another adoption announcement!! Booth was adopted!!
Booth hit the jackpot! 🎉🥳
Booth's previous environment was, well, less than ideal. While we aren't entirely sure of his former situation before being removed from his house by animal welfare, but we are 100% sure he is now where he was always meant to be, HOME. Booth snagged himself an absolutely wonderful family, a beautiful space with a great view, a sister and a life of being pampered with grapes (but not too many!) and belly rubs. Welcome to what your life always should have been, buddy! 🥰❤️

Good morning from everyone's favorite goofy goober! The pigs have been as confused about the weather lately as we have been. 50s and drizzly? We'll definitely take it over teens and icy. The time between Christmas and New Years is so bizarre (just like Garfunkle 🤪) so just in case anyone needs help figuring out where they are right now... today is Saturday December 28th. Yes, I did check 3x before typing this. We hope everyone is finding time for a little rest and reset before heading into 2025. Garfunkle sends you a smile and a honk. 🥰❤ Have a great day everyone!
Peppa decided to do things her own way 🤣#kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #pigrescue #kansascity #minipig #peppapig
Her, but you get the point. 😚Brandi is the remaining piglet from Mama Michelle who was liberated from a farm this past May due to some compassionate people. Her siblings are all living their best lives at their forever homes. Don't worry though, miss Brandi has also found a forever home right here at KCPRN, we just couldn't let that squishy face go. Be on the lookout for her at our upcoming events this Spring!#kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #pigrescue #kunekune #squishy #kansascity #minipig
MASSIVE thank you to everyone who sponsored a pig this Holiday Season, your donation makes a huge difference! Amber is helping with your ornaments, sorry if any have teeth marks 🙃🤣#kcpigrescuenetwork #kcprn #thankyou #kansascity #pigrescue #minipig #holiday
Booth and Meadowlark <3 Two beautiful babes, both working on their own (opposite) health journeys. Meadowlark has been with us a couple of months now, since her previous owner was found deceased in their home. They struggled with some demons and unfortunately Meadowlark was not being properly cared for. She was however, protective of her owners body and quite heartbroken by her loss. She has slowly but surely been gaining healthy weight and building muscle. We are VERY proud of this beautiful girl. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have Booth. He recently joined us after being removed from his home by local animal welfare workers. He had been over-fed, as so many pigs are. Piggies lack the mechanism in their brain that signals to them that they are full, and can stop eating. They become overweight and obese very quickly/easily when overfed, and it can be very difficult to get the excess weight off their frames. Booth is a young piggy, and is already struggling with arthritis from his weight. We are hoping with diet and exercise we can stop this arthritis from progressing and that it will be a small hurdle for him for many years to come. If you are worried that your pet pig is either too thin or too thicc, please reach out! Please ask questions! Please get feedback from someone who does not see your piggy every day. Please keep in mind that when you DO see your pig every day, it can be very difficult to tell if they are gaining or losing weight. Don't be afraid to ask! Your pig's lifelong well being may depend on you being willing to ask for guidance or support. We are always here. <3
Happy Sleepy Morning from Phoebe, one of the sweetest girlies at KCPRN right now. This darling lady is pretty tough to get pictures and videos of because she is always up in your business if you're hanging out with her. She is definitely the exact definition of a lap pig. Her favorite spot in the world is WITH A HUMAN. Since she has arrived to our care, she has been by herself. First she needed to go through her vetting, spay and recovery and then needed to wait for another solo piggy to do the same. We do our best to pair piggies in a couple and then a small group before introducing them to the larger herd of adoptable babes. Phoebe is very ready for a friend, and sometimes tells me she would be just as happy for that friend to be on two legs instead of four. She is very affectionate and full of personality. She may be an ideal fit for an indoor/outdoor or solo piggy home. She craves attention SO SO BAD. Like SO bad. So if you're a busy family without much time to give, she would definitely need a piggy pal. However if you are a person who is retired, works from home, enjoys quiet time with a fur baby etc she may just be the right piggy for you. She would be elated to go home for the holidays. Just imagine her laying on a pet bed in front of a fire place, smiling under a Christmas tree, or playing outdoors with a piggy pal... but still very very happy to see you when you come outside. 🥰🐷🎄🎁 If you are interested in adoption of any of our piggies, we would love the opportunity to chat about what you're looking for in a best buddy so we can help you find the right fit!
Any guesses as to why the heck they are standing so still?!
Is it because:
A: they sense a predator nearby
B: they smell pumpkins
C: they just woke up from a long nap
Let us know in the comments!

Sound on for the sweetest sleepy snores to start your rainy Monday morning. This handsome fella is enjoying some much needed rest and relaxation after finding himself in a pretty rough spot. Authorities were called to his previous home for other reasons, and he was found neglected and in need of help. Fortunately, among the responding animal professionals was one of our prior adopters. This pig momma knew exactly what to do and made sure he got out of the unsafe situation he was. He is now settled into his temporary safe space until he joins us later this week. This sweet boy is going to make an amazing companion for a very lucky family some day. 🥰 He just needs a diet and vetting. For now... it'd a rainy Monday morning and he needs what we all need..... a nap.
