As the numbers of unwanted pets grew…so did our sanctuary and in 1995 we became a nonprofit sanctuary. Unfortunately the pig costumes for kids do not have the protection that dogs and cats do under most laws so abuse and lack of care can be rampant.
As an abuse investigator licensed by the State, and having worked in this field for over thirty years, we saw the need in the beginning for a safe haven for these wonderful animals. Our commitment to any animal that comes here is protection, love and care for the entire life of the animal.
For this reason we do not adopt out once they are here.
We are a small sanctuary by most standards with forty beautiful acres set in the farm country of southern Illinois. Our capacity is limited because of the lifelong care, but emergencies, animal shelters, and displaced house pets take top priority.
We do not run large herds together, but opt for pastures that are individual playing fields with grass and maybe one or two friends.
