Meet the Pigs
Honeybee
Honeybee is a happy-go-lucky, social, and special girl! She is a young potbelly pig that used to be very shy and unable to defend herself from the 80 pigs that she was hoarded with on a farm. Because her family had been breeding with each other for a while, little Honeybee ended up with some quirks that make her extra unique. Excessive inbreeding led to partial blindness from her eyes being crossed, so she needs a special feed routine and extra patience with finding things like treats in front of her. She also finds new situations very challenging. When she first arrived to the sanctuary, she needed some relaxing medication because she was so scared she wouldn't stop shivering for weeks. She didn't know at the time that she was safe and would only experience love for the rest of her life. But she knows now! Honeybee is a social butterfly and loves eating watermelon, getting scratches on her head and back, and spending time with her sister Ladybug!
Ladybug
Ladybug is a young mixed pig and Honeybee's sister! She is mostly potbelly, with a little bit of Kune Kune that gives her an adorably chubby face and cute wattles that hang off of her neck. She has a spot on her nose just like a ladybug! But maybe we should have swapped their names, because Ladybug is the QUEEN BEE. She is the loudest and bossiest pig, and might give you a little nip if you didn't bring her highness any treats. But behind her deep grunts and the impressive mohawk she shows, she is a very friendly girl, and will even flop over for a belly rub if so inclined. Ladybug loves snuggling with her sister Honeybee, finding sprigs of grass to munch on, and rooting around in the dirt. She came from the same hoarding case as her sister, and was the only pig that loved her enough not to bully her there. When gentle Honeybee needed her sister to help her feel safe, Ladybug needed her just as much. We are so happy to provide safety for these pigs where they can stay together forever.
Big Blue
Big Blue is a very handsome and large potbelly pig! He has an incredibly sweet and gentle soul, and had a long road to physical and emotional recovery after the treatment he received at a hoarding farm. Blue saw the worst of the treatment that the survivors experienced, and unfortunately has the emotional and physical scars to prove it. It is possible that humans, dogs, and other pigs attacked him relentlessly. He needed a lot of patience and gentleness to recover, as well as a diet plan to get him to lose some weight. Despite his past, he has chosen peace, and is a very sweet and shy boy who just wants to feel safe. Today he is loving life with his best friend Butterbean in the piggy woods, spending his days napping, rooting for snacks in the dirt, and listening to the creek.
Butterbean
Butterbean is Big Blue's right hand man! He is a small Juliana pig with very cute spots on his body. Butterbean is very shy but loves to eat! He also shows his love for his big brother Blue by the way they stick to each other and cuddle together. Butterbean endured the same treatment at the hoarding farm as the other pot-bellied pigs, so he had the same emotional recovery to make, and as a result he is very shy with humans. Butterbean's weight fluctuates a lot with his metabolism so we are constantly adjusting his meals to meet his special needs. These kids have been through a lot, but each pig is so special in their strength, intelligence, and forgiveness. A little love can go a long way!
Sugarloaf
Sugar is a Kune Kune girl with a horrendous backstory. A very kind lady was attending a party where she saw Sugar being used as entertainment for children. The party was "hog wild" themed, with our gentle and kind little Sugar as the main attraction. It turns out that Sugar was bought from an auction for just $1 to be used at the party, and was then set to be butchered afterwards. Seeing the injustice of the situation, the woman pleaded for Sugar's life. It worked! She was only given a couple days to find Sugar a home, but found us just in time. We were able to take her in right away and offer her asylum in our barn. There she was quarantined as we brought her up to date on her vaccines and got her spayed.
Sugar has an amazing personality and will flop over for a belly-rub for anyone that is kind to her. Her easygoing, kind-hearted nature serves her well in the pig herd! She also loves to pant and oink when meeting new humans or her favorite human friends. Sugar is super affectionate and a social butterfly of the pig woods!
Grand Slam
Grand Slam aka Slammy is a sassy white pot-bellied pig who originated from a hoarding case. He arrived severely overweight, limping, with overgrown hooves and infected wounds on his body. After he was quarantined and healed, the ostracization and trauma from his previous situation made it very hard for him to acclimate to living with other pigs again. Slammy needed a special feeding routine and patience in order to overcome his struggles and accept piggy companionship once more. Now he is a thriving member of the herd and loves to hang out in the pig house or nap outside with Sugar. He is a special boy who needs sunscreen during sunny days because of his delicate pink skin. However, warm weather also means he can do his favorite activity, which is root around in the mud!
