Dear fellow rescuers,

As long as the world spins, the need for rescuers will always remain. 🌎🐽❤️

Earth is overrun with humans pillaging and exploiting the world for which we were meant to tenderly care. Instead, the worst of humanity uses and abuses all species, our lands, and our seas.

But rescuers are the very definition of HOPE in a devastated world. When there is nothing left, hope remains. How many cases of suffering have we bared witness to? How many broken bodies and broken spirits have made it to our doorsteps with one foot on the Muddy Rainbow Bridge? There was almost nothing left… but hope remained.

We took that single tiny spark of life left within them and coaxed it into a roaring fire of happy and healthy pig, goat, cow, sheep, horse, chicken, turkey, donkey, dog, cat, and every other animal who has found sanctuary within our barns. 🥰❤️

Because our love is not limited to a certain species. 🫶

When farm animal caretakers love animals, we love them all. We might each specialize in one or two species, some specializing in most, but all of us share a profound connection with all of creation- from the bumblebees we save from pools, to the woodland creatures we welcome in the areas surrounding our sanctuaries, to the glorious old trees we protect that provide shade to our beloved residents. 🐝🐿️🌳

Following one another on social media, we see that rescuers are always on the way. Last minute, in the depth of night, with or without enough supplies, without enough sleep, on empty tummies, we push through it all knowing life is on the line. Sometimes when it feels like we aren’t making a dent in the overwhelming cruelty plaguing our beautiful world, we dig deep, grit our teeth and push on.

Because if we stop, that’s one less person coming for them. One less person caring that their hearts get to keep beating. 💔

Rescuers are the epitome of hope, resilience, and sacrifice. If you’re feeling discouraged, remember we are a shining beacon of hope, infiltrating the darkest farms, transports, and slaughterhouses. We can’t save them all, but we’ll never stop trying to save just one more, over and over and over again for the rest of our lives. 🐽❤️

The heart of a rescuer is the BEST of humanity. We’ll give everything and expect nothing in return except the safe, happy, natural life of another creature. ☺️

To our fellow rescuers, thank you for pushing on with us. You bring hope to the animals and fill our hearts up, as well. 🫶🥰❤️

We love our sweet Peek-a-Boo, Benny! 🫣🥰With those amazing ears, it’s a game we play everyday! 🤣🐽❤️🫶

People often use the phrase “when pigs fly” to symbolize disbelief that something could ever happen. It’s rare, but pigs DO fly. Little piglets make a daring escape, taking a courageous leap of faith and flying out of transport semis barreling down the highway... 😔

Little piglets are often transported to fattening facilities on overcrowded trucks at the sweet young age of only three weeks old. Some fall from holes in the floor or in the sides of the trucks. Some make a daring leap, somehow sensing deep within that when hitting the asphalt at 70mph, gravity will be kinder to their little bodies than the humans that await them. 😢

A number of these piglets are spotted by passersby and thankfully find refuge within the willing and capable arms of sanctuary caretakers. There the piglets receive the necessary medical care to alleviate the damage concrete inflicted upon their bodies.

With grace, it’s simply scrapes and bruises. Some have broken bones. The worst cases suffer internal bleeding and head trauma. Not all piglets that jump can be saved. 😭 We’re so proud of them for trying. They are all so brave. 🥹❤️‍🩹

Sanctuaries will gladly sacrifice precious sleep and time, spending generously-given donation dollars to treat those little bodies and watch them grow into B.I.G P.I.G.’s!!!

Pumpkin, Elliot, Huckleberry, and Kiwi are our “truck jumpers.” 🐽❤️‍🩹

Pumpkin doesn’t have any lingering health issues. 🙌🏻

Elliot has neurological complications from injuries inflicted after his jump. ❤️‍🩹

Huckleberry has a spine curvature and issues with his arthritis. ❤️‍🩹

Kiwi has sun sensitivity from the severe sunburn she got laying in the ditch for a prolonged period after her jump. ☀️❤️‍🩹

But because of their courageous leaps, all four of our beautiful jumpers are thriving at Saving Snouts. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

The boys have a female friend named Sprinkles, another Big who is an animal testing survivor.

Kiwi’s family is full of fellas! Her soulmate Kip, another Big, and her adopted “kiddos,” Benny and Forest, who will one day be BIG, too.

Our hearts ache for all the littles that never got a chance to fly, never got a chance at sanctuary life. They endured filthy, cramped, depraved conditions, filled with fear and cruelty before humans took their final shred of hope and ultimately their lives. 😔

Those littles can fly now though; they have their angel wings. 🐽🪽🤍

Tuesday’s the time for two! 🥰❤️🐾

Dusty and Griffin, our terrific tripods, recently enjoyed a beautiful spring afternoon chillin’ outside… and looking everywhere but the camera 📸🤣❤️🐾

Last weekend our team used their ✨Girl Power✨ to tear down the fencing around Zoey and Dawson’s original pasture. (Our “little” piglets are a year old already and no longer little. They moved to their big girl/big boy pasture a couple weeks ago and are looooving it!) 🥳🐽❤️

We only have a few gentlemen on the team, so our ladies continuously impress us when they step up and work together to get the job DONE!

“You throw like a GIRL!!!” might have been an attempt at an insult years ago, but if you’d say today, “You pull down fencing like a girl!” We’d say, “You betcha we do!!!!” 💪🏻🐽❤️🤣

Here’s to all the strong ladies- your strength lies in your spirit, your muscles, your attitude… and your ability to teach the new volunteers how to use all these tools. 😉👏🏼
