If you recall, last summer we worked hard to create a cool place for the pigs to beat the heat. We hauled water, set up pools, and did our best to give them a comfortable place to wallow. Unfortunately, their talent for destruction proved to be every bit as impressive as our efforts. 🙃 No matter what we came up with, the pigs always seemed to find a way to dismantle it, flatten it, chew it, and turn it into something completely different than intended.
That’s why this year we came up with a new plan. We had hoped to purchase a 10-foot stock tank. A much more durable option that could withstand enthusiastic pigs while giving them a place to cool off all summer long. We planned to use some of the funds from our Spring Celebration to help make that happen, but with the event raising only $900, those funds had to go toward feed for the animals.
A 10-foot stock tank costs approximately $1,700 plus tax, which is currently beyond our budget. To put things in perspective, our monthly operating costs are roughly $3,000, while monthly donations currently sit at around $750. That means we’re constantly working to bridge the gap just to cover feed, hay, and the daily care of the animals, making larger purchases like this difficult without additional fundraising support.
So, we’re launching a fundraiser to help us get there.
To make things a little more exciting, a generous supporter has donated a $100 Amazon gift card as a prize. We’ll also include a private, 1-hour "behind-the-scenes" tour of the sanctuary for the donor and up to three friends, including a meet-and-greet with the residents.
🎟️ For every $10 donated, you’ll receive one entry into the draw.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward purchasing a stock tank to help keep the pig crew cool, comfortable, and happy throughout the summer. 💚🐷💦
Thank you for supporting Grey’s Haven and for helping us provide the best possible care for these wonderfully destructive pigs. 🐷
I’m sharing a video of the pig crew enjoying a refreshing dip before their inner engineers took over.
Let’s get these pigs a pool that can survive them! 💦🐷😂
