Meet the pigs

Wendy came to us from a Wayneville, NC cruelty case. *A note about cruelty cases: Many of our animals have come from them. They have faced severe traumas, from being starved, losing limbs due to infection and neglect, being locked in barns with no sunlight, living up to their knees in excrement, and having to cannibalize the corpses of other animals that had succumbed to starvation. Whenever possible action was taken against the perpetrators of these crimes. The sad reality is there is little protection for animals, especially animals that are farmed. Note: not all residents are pictured.

 

Caroline also came to us from the Waynesville case. 69 pigs had to be rescued and divided between shelters all over to accommodate the great need from this case.

 

Karen came from a cruelty case in McDowell County, NC.

 

Wiley came to us from the cruelty case in Waynesville.

 

Split Rail also came from the cruelty case in Waynesville.

 

Jan came from the cruelty case in Waynesville.

 

Izzy (pictured) and Amelia (below) were bought by a couple who wanted to have mini pigs. They quickly realized that keeping pigs is nothing like having other pets. The piglets got out and ran amok in the neighborhood. The couple surrendered Izzy and Amelia to us with in the first 24 hours of having them.

And this is Amelia!
