Stephanie Danovi was gifted some catnip toys for our two tripods, Toadie (she’s in the video) and Bug. Definitely Toadie approved!

New and exciting projects going on at the Hippies Restoring Hope & Hippie Hog Refuge property!

We will be reaching out to the community very soon in hopes we can get some help with those projects.

🧡

Our current project is Spring Cleaning the property before we can get started on what’s important: Working on the Garden and building a Catio for our remaining disabled fur-residence at Hippie Hog Refuge.

Stay tuned for updates!

Not my post- but a great idea! Cut a hole in the center of the tire too, on the opposite side, fill the center of the tires with some straw and put a piece of wood on top with a brick or rock to hold it in place. Then they have the entire center area and by cutting the entrance to the middle on the opposite side of the tire, it creates a wind block.

God knows there are plenty of old tires around!

➡️First Community Garden Volunteer Weekend!⬅️

Calling all strong arms, green thumbs, and anyone else who wants to help!

We are having our first volunteer weekend. Finally, schedules have aligned and we are going to be tilling the dirt, marking the paths, and hopefully beginning to plant the plants and sow some seeds!

We are celebrating Mother’s Day by putting our hands in the dirt and appreciating the earth for giving us space to grow food that will help feed a community!

Kids are welcome!

If you have anything you’re willing to share (time, helping hands, tools, supplies, starter plants, etc), this weekend would be the best time to stop by!

We hope to see you there!
We can also offer rides to those who need it. 🙂

Days and Times:
Saturday, May 11: 9 am - 8pm
Sunday, May 12: Noon (12pm) - 8pm
(These aren’t strict. Folks can come and go anytime after the start time and before end time)

Location:
4004 Trumble Rd

Quote from where I shared this from:

“🆘🆘 NINE BABIES WILL DIE 🆘🆘 The time is now, we knew it would come. The day we cannot save them from a horrible fate. There are too many, we are not enough. Rescues have been begging and praying that somehow, someway they can pull off another miracle. THEY NEED YOUR HELP!! The shelter has condemned them because they have mites/mange. It’s two treatments of ivermectin and some baths. WHY IS THAT A DEATH SENTENCE????

Can you commit to One? Two? We will help guide you through the process of getting them well. We will be your support system, your cheerleader, we will teach you what you don’t know EVERY STEP of the way.

Cant commit? Please share!! We need this to go EVERYWHERE!! 🆘

Thank you to AutumnJude Rowan for this cute piece of art.

In 2018, “Hippie Hog Refuge” is what we named the property, long before we ever got settled on what we were going to do with our new home. It was mostly as a memorial to all the animals we had helped in the past (mostly pet pigs).

[We used to actively receive rescues. And functioned as such for several years. However. We no longer function as an open animal sanctuary (we are only taking care of the animals we currently have -three pigs, one of which just celebrated her sweet 16, and several special needs cats.) But we decided to keep the name and keep the original page open for Hippie Hog Refuge to post cute stuff our remaining rescues are up to.]

The COMMUNITY garden is to help feed the community and surrounding areas. We are not planting a 50’x70’ garden to grow food for three piggies lol - now if they happen to get some garden scraps and a few treats from generous volunteers, that’s one thing. But this isn’t for them. This is a dream that has been in the works since we bought this home in 2018. And we started to realize this dream into an actual plan a few years ago and then even more so when we decided to regroup and “rebrand”.

We are trying to drum up some interest in having these printed and figuring out costs for everyone. This image, minus all the white, would be printed on the back, with our three brooms logo on the front breast.

For now, we are looking into posting these to Redbubble, which would allow people to support us directly as well has have this printed on more budget friendly items (like magnets and stickers), aside from tshirts.

We will keep everyone posted once this has been made available.

If you, or someone you know, offers quality print service, who can work with us on perhaps a discounted rate or figure out a way to print on demand rather than bulk, please let us know!
