Currently we are closed to visitors until late Spring 2013

We are closed.

All visiting has always been scheduled around the care of animals. Due to senior animals in need of medical intensive care we are closed for visiting until late spring 2013

Visitor and Volunteer Guidelines

 

You are a guest in the home of many rescued animals in various stages of healing.

We want you to enjoy your visit. Ask any questions you want. No subject is out of bounds and no question is dumb.

Our goal is to make your visit enjoyable and educational. You will have many good photo opportunities.

• Please do not bring grocery store produce trimmings.
• Do Not Feed the Animals. Many are on special diets.
• It is also important you do not carry food in your pockets or purse.
• Children must be supervised at all times.
• Children under 3 must be carried at all times
• We respectfully request that no meat products be brought onto sanctuary grounds. We are dedicated to respect for all life.
• Several animals have free run of the sanctuary. Please do not approach any animals without first checking with staff. Our animals come from situations of abuse and neglect, healing may take time.
• No smoking.
• No weapons, drugs or alcohol are allowed on the sanctuary. This is a place of refuge for animals and humans alike.
• No personal pets allowed. Some sanctuary animals are dog attack survivors.
• No walking around the farm barefoot or in open toe shoes.

Please Know

We have 190+ pigs who live at the sanctuary. All visiting is based on the acuity of the sanctuary. Some days or weeks I have no visiting as we are busy with new rescues in trauma or pigs in acute medical conditions in need of intensive care. The animals always come first.

We have no staff and no help most days.

Mornings are full with feeding, cleaning and medical treatments, thus all visiting is scheduled for 2pm or later.

It is a joy to introduce people to the gentleness and true nature of pigs. I wish I could accommodate all visiting requests. I do the best I can.

Thank you for loving pigs,
