FPG Plant & Animal Sanctuary

05/11/2026

FPG Plant & Animal Sanctuary is reducing its scope to move to a new location. Over the past two years, the support that once sustained our work has become harder to find, and we have had to make difficult decisions about what we can responsibly take on.

Because of this, we need to place six pigs, four of whom were rescued during the 2018 Lava Flow, with loving adopters. Pigs are especially sensitive to change, and we had hoped to bring them with us to our new property. Without a caretaker at the new property, we must find them secure homes now.

Once the pastures are ready, we hope to bring the fostered animals back into our care. Until then, we are looking for adoptive and foster families who can give them a safe and loving place to stay. If you know someone who can help, please share this post with them.

Every adoption, every foster home, and every referral helps us keep this sanctuary’s promise to the animals in our care. If you can help, please reach out to Rob Cole at (808) 339-1987. Thank you for standing with us.

Pigs for adoption:
3 Little Pigs--Ole, Blue, Faye
Laverne and Squiggy (paired)
Stitch (currently being treated for abscesses on the skin)

Goat pairs for foster:
(both with horns and butt heads) Hokulani and Titis (castrated)
Daisy (under treatment for arthritis) and Winnie (budded)

FPG Sanctuary is looking for places to foster some of our pasture animals for about six months. We are moving our sanctuary to a new location, and need people who have fenced pastures to take care of two pairs of goats while we get their new pastures ready.

If you would like to help, please message Rob Cole. Thank you.

Welcoming Winnie into the fold. She came to us from a former goat-milking life in Laupahoehoe.

Thank you for setting up this fundraiser, Joanna.

In 2024, our sanctuary faced an unexpected surge in medical expenses, totalling over $5,000—an amount that fully depleted our annual medical fund. These funds are crucial for providing lifesaving care to our rescued animals, from routine check-ups to emergency treatments.

As we plan for 2025, we are reaching out to valued supporters like you to help us rebuild this vital resource. Would you consider contributing to our medical fund? Your generosity will directly impact the well-being of animals who depend on us for safety, care, and love.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference. Your support means everything to us—and to the animals whose lives you help save.

Getting ready to say, "A hui hou" to Mako. Adopted August 19, 2017 on my first day as dog trainer with Rainbow Friends. His original owner didn't know how to potty-train a puppy, opting to kick him up the backside every time he did his business. Once Mako got permanently disfigured and neurologically unable to control his bladder and bowels, the guy's wife surrendered Mako to Rainbow Friends. Through regular chiropractic care, Mako was able to regain some mobility, but he was always a little stiff when he would lie down. Despite his trauma as a puppy, he was a gentle and loving dog. He recently started going blind and deaf. Eventually cancer latched onto his p***s, and may have metastasized.

Venus and Milo wish you a happy Thanksgiving. Even though Milo can be a sassy tom, he still doesn't get eaten on Thanksgiving.
