Saturdays are for Snouts & Smiles! 🐽😊

No snouts in sight in this photo, but handsome Griffin is showing off his sweet smile. 😁

From this angle, you can’t even tell he’s one of our adorable tripods!

Many of our residents arrived here from tragic circumstances, with special needs, and can spend days, weeks, or their whole lives recovering from their pasts. 💔

But we’re here for them every step of the way. Life before sanctuary was often heartbreaking, but life after is definitely something to smile about. 🥰🫶❤️

It’s 💚 $5 Friday! 💚

Today we’d love your assistance to help build up our building fund… so we can demolish it, building things! 🤣

The cold is settling in and we’re in need of supplies to winterize our barns and grounds… aaaand maybe to prep for some new arrivals, too!!! 😉🥰❤️

Thank you so much for your generosity! Our team is extremely grateful for every donor that supports our sanctuary and every dollar you share with us! 🫶🤍

They don’t always die.

The animals.

They don’t always die...

Not right away. Sometimes what was meant to end their life, missed. Sometimes they fight harder than others, not ready to succumb to their fate. 💔

There is nowhere to go. Rescue is not imminent. By the time they reach absolute hell inside concrete walls, they will only leave in pieces. But yet, they resist. Because even at six months old they want to LIVE. So, they wiggle and thrash, desperately.

For a moment, imagine yourself there. Not to watch it but to live it. Imagine being trapped, hung upside down by your leg. Or confined with others in a claustrophobic room. Death chambers. Imagine your pounding heart. Your panic. Would you scream? Cry? Would you flail about or scratch the walls, desperate to free yourself? Could you fight through the terror gripping you to your bones? Could you survive the agony that is to come?? Of course not.

Pigs live through that agony… if the stun gun misses and they feel the knife pierce their skin. The moment the gas is turned on. They feel themselves burning to death from the inside. They can’t even try to cover their mouths as we would. They can’t even try to protect themselves. 😔

Yes, they live through that agony for a little while. Seconds, minutes, longer. And they feel EVERYTHING. They never survive it. 😔💔

Many former slaughterhouse workers recount tales of the moment it clicked, when they realized that the death to which they were an accomplice was morally wrong. They saw something… something that haunts them. Something that haunts us too, simply from hearing their words. 😭

Many former slaughterhouse workers chose compassion instead when they stepped away from a life of carnage to a plant-based and peaceful plate. 🌱🐽🫶❤️

The animals never choose their fate, but your decisions help influence their lives. Please choose compassion. Don’t see your meal simply in that clean-cut slice of meat. See the whole animal that fought to their final breath trying to resist your fork and knife…

***Four of our beautiful Bigs survived the system because they never arrived at the slaughterhouse... Now, they live an idyllic life of comfort and happiness, all because someone eventually showed them compassion and kindness. 🌱🫶❤️

SAVED: The Stories of Saving Snouts
Story 3: Benedict

Benny’s story isn’t as tragic as some of the stories we’re going to tell.

But it would have been…. 🐽🥺

Benny was born on a farm that would have given him a few short months of a depraved life before he would be slaughtered around only six months old. 💔

But he was ill. Very ill. The farmer was hollerin’ about it. Guests staying at the AirBNB nearby heard the commotion and intervened to help the tiny piglet. They got him vet care, but most vets do not specialize in pig care so this little piglet needed more help. And a home. He needed a SANCTUARY. This past winter, tiny Benedict joined Saving Snouts. ❤️

At first due to his size (itty bitty) and his illness (he was one sick little fella) Benny became a house pig. We instantly fell in love with his little piglet smiles and his adorable peekaboo ears. 😍

Benny was an adorable little rascal from the start and became a rambunctious little stinker as his health improved. He loved to try to chew on our toes (thankfully our little piggies were protected by our thick farm boots!) 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Benny recovered and started showing interest in “interior redecorating.” *cough* He tried to turn Mama TJ’s floor into a jigsaw puzzle. 😱😆🤦🏻‍♀️ Thankfully, by that time, winter was melting away. Benny had recovered and he was healthy. It was time to be a big boy.

Benny was adopted by Kiwi and Kip, and his “brother” Forest joined the family a few months later. Benny’s favorite past-times include stealing as many bagels as possible and running away squealing excitedly, and “snorteling” our volunteers, (one volunteer’s word for when Benny lovingly presses his snout hard on your legs.) He leaves little love bruises. His special signature. 😆🐽🫶

Benny might be growing big… and bigger and bigger and bigger, but this beautiful boy will ALWAYS be our baby boy. ❤️

Scooter and his buddies Charlie and Beans recently relocated to a bigger home (Hello White Barn! 🤍)

They also have a much bigger pasture. Scooter is pretty happy about it. 🫶🥰
