JillyBean is one of our TEENAGE lady pigs who underwent a fairly emergent spay last year. She was one of the original Tennessee girls, and we weren’t sure if spaying her was in her best interest. It’s not often that we meet girls like Jill in their teens. She suddenly slowed down on us and started refusing meals. An ultrasound showed the problem was her lumpy, mass-filled uterus, and our only option was to try a hysterectomy, which worked to fix her issues almost immediately!
Here she is today😊 She’s a happy, healthy old gal who is soooooo fortunate to live in a community that prioritizes female reproductive healthcare beyond the concept of “can she have babies?”
Note: this is our NEW swamp in the feral neighborhood, and JillyBean approves!!! She’s hoping there’s a spot for Grandma Piggies in next year’s SwampSuit calendar🐷🐷🐷

It’s official. She’s a Sanctuary Babe😭😭😭
MollyJo is in recovery! The doctors did a very routine ovariohysterectomy on a young, healthy patient, which will save her from EVER being exposed to the destructive hormones she’s been selectively bred to produce. Pinkies like MollyJo are prolific breeders. Huge litters of babies are born three times a year! She could produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 babies per litter. Can you imagine the hormones we’d require to produce fifteen humans per litter - three times a year?!?!
It’s suuuuuuper special to pull one of these Pinkies out of the animal agriculture industry and SPAY HER. Vaccinate her. Microchip her. Give her a name and a family and a future that isn’t dependent on what she will produce.
Congratulations on earning your Sanctuary Babe badge today, MollyJo… we love you!!!
Special thanks to our vet partners for yet another stellar job helping our animals achieve the life they deserve. We appreciate you💛

MollyJo heads into the operating room this morning to get her turn for a spay. It’s a MAJOR part of providing routine healthcare for lady pig people!!! We are saving her from an endless list of problems caused by hormonal heat cycles. It’s not negotiable. It’s not up for debate. Spaying female pigs is considered essential healthcare.
Would you consider a small donation today on MollyJo’s behalf?

“Thanks for bringing cool water to my swamp, nice lady.”💛
Papa Roy is one of the GENTLEST beings on the planet. He’s a giant Meishan pig that makes me think of an elephant. He was part of a small time backyard breeding operation, and he was deemed “too nice to send to auction”. I’ll say it until my dying breath… NONE of them deserve to be imprisoned, exploited, and sent to death. Whether they’re nice or not, we should protect the vulnerable and help them. We should not hurt them. It’s that easy. We have immense capacity for kindness. Why would we choose otherwise?

13/07/2024

We did the first test of our new system with the Hoof Circus today. HUGE success!!! Fine tuning this process has been a collaboration between all of us on the ground who work day in and day out with the animals… in all weather. Making this smooth and efficient is an enormous bit of progress in maturing this organization for the next generation of caregivers💛💛💛

Chani came to us from a Michigan abuse and neglect case. She’s now living her BEST Sanctuary Babe life as a fully integrated member of our GenPop herd.
Finding ways to advocate for farmed animals is full of twists and turns. Telling the WHOLE story is often more than people can bear. Telling only PART of the story feels disrespectful to the survivor. Deep sigh… there’s no winning🤷🏻‍♀️We tell the story as best we can while making sure to EDUCATE along the way.
Having sweethearts like Chani in your care comes with a serious amount of responsibility. We do not take them in and call it good🙄 She needed a spay… vaccines… deworming… and loads of integration support. She’ll need long term care from our team as she ages. She’ll need hoof trims and cryotherapy and gobs of sunscreen application. She’ll need good nutrition, a warm house, fresh water, and an occasional belly rub. THAT is our version of animal care… and it is what we encourage for anyone who is selfless enough to provide lifelong care to animals.

Yoda may be a tripod, but a few simple modifications to his routine and close caregiver observation have given him an exceptional quality of life. He’s a MASSIVE tripod at 550 pounds, and he’s very happily existing in our GenPop herd alongside his family members. He’s a magical unicorn pig of epic proportions, and we’re grateful for the chance to know him so personally.
Advocating for farmed animals to get what they need is something every one of us can do. You don’t have to let one sleep in your living room in order to help them. What are some of the ways YOU are helping animals in your own life???

Scooter was discovered ONLY because little Janice needed medical care. While negotiating to take Camilla and Janice together as sisters, we simply asked if they’d let Scooter come along, too🤷🏻‍♀️ It was painful to think of leaving just ONE little guy behind while Camilla and Janice loaded up for the sanctuary. We rescued Scooter, too💛
He’s currently recovering in quarantine from his neuter surgery beside the lady Muppets (lady Muppets😆), and I always feel a little pang of sadness at how the boys are so often left behind. The girls are seen as VALUABLE because they produce so many offspring. We focus a lot of emotion on getting the girls out of these systems of exploitation, but we don’t often take a moment to focus on how little men like Scooter deserve the same chance to live a Sanctuary Babe life. Look at his sweet face. I imagine he’s very grateful we inquired at the last minute if he could join the rescue party with us💛
Thank you all for being enthusiastic supporters of these darlings and their story. We take in rescues like the three Muppets only because of your financial support of the work we do here. Thank you for being part of our team!

Do you dare to imagine a world where all living beings are treated with respect and kindness? It exists right here… Alice is living proof that it’s possible. It’s hard work. It takes thought and planning and sacrifice. It takes collaborative efforts amongst humans who share values and ethics, but it’s physically possible to live a life where we PROTECT the vulnerable and relish in their good fortune. We meet their needs. We respect their individuality. We cherish the opportunity to live in peace beside them.

Harlan skinny dipped in Daisy and Willy’s mini-swamp this morning🫢 “Giant naked pink man-pig frolics through elder community… HOA President has been notified!”

We each have endless opportunities to make a positive impact on the world every day. Acts of kindness. Meatless meals. Thrifting. Sharing what we can. Shopping small and local. Helping those less fortunate. Plant trees. Es**rt turtles. Send a struggling friend a text. Protect the vulnerable. Volunteer. Save water. Minimize waste. Be kind to animals. Advocate. Educate yourself. Open your heart and your mind to gentler ways of living. Refuse to be status quo.

There’s great peace in watching our animal friends live their lives… make their friends… choose their families. It’s pure and innocent and utopian. It’s a salve to our souls to not only imagine a gentler, kinder world, but to CREATE it.
