MEET THE ANIMALS - WILBER, PUA and TEMPLETON

We offer an opportunity for you to be a part of these pigs' lives which we do in the form of sponsorships, which are $25/a month.  If you sign up to sponsor an animal, that means that particular animal will receive a special enrichment/treat every week.  It could be a basket of fresh veggies, it could be a new food puzzle, a new toy, a small bowl of favorite fruits or during the summer- a frozen treat with lots of veggies and a few pieces of fruit inside!

Photos of 'your' pig enjoying the treats will be emailed to you once a month!😊🐖😁

Wilbur got his name from the star of Charlotte's Web.  He is slightly the runt, he's humble and terrific.  He's SOME pig.  😉

Pua is named from the pig in the movie, Moana.  He is a very sweet pig who isn't pushy in the least.  When I give veggie treats, I have to make extra sure he gets his before one of the others pushes in to grab it.

Templeton is named after the rat in Charlotte's Web since he bumps the other pigs away from the food at times.  But on the other hand, he's the MOST friendly pig to humans.  He was the first to allow me to scratch him and always is brave enough to come up to see me.

Hooray!  I'm finally getting animals into my sanctuary!  With the help of friend and fellow animal rescuer, Kelli at Roots Sanctuary in Tijeras, NM, I have the opportunity to bring in 3 Gottingen pigs!  They were first taken in by Kansas City Pig Rescue Network in Missouri from a research lab in the area.  Kelli is driving to get 5 of these little cuties the week of MARCH 17.  She will keep 2 and bring Munsey's Mission 3, so that KCPRN can keep bringing in more pigs from the research facilities they have a relationship with.

These pigs are all approximately 6 months old males who have been neutered and vaccinated at KCPRN.  The Gottingen breed of pigs are specifically bred for research labs because they are small and docile.  These sweet little guys are unfortunately starting to replace dogs and primates in many instances since they're so easy to handle and in some cases, have similar anatomy to humans.   They're bred primarily in just 4 locations in the world and are a cross between Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs, Minnesota mini pigs and German Landrace pigs and are the smallest mini pig breed, topping out at under 80#.
