Meet and Sponsor Our Pigs

Sponsor Adam!  Adam came to PRS with four other male potbelly pigs from a state cruelty seizure in the summer of 2019. Filthy, terrifying, and nearly starved to death, all five boys were traumatized, but none so much as Adam who would run away in fear if we even looked at him. These days, Adam has slowly come around and allows us to be in his space and gently pet him, especially if we bring snacks.

Sponsor Anton! Anton came to PRS the day he was born along with his siblings and their mother, Eleanor. We were alerted to their situation when a local farmer arrived at the sanctuary pleading for help with a pig in severe distress with a stillborn piglet lodged in her birth canal. Our director rushed over, removed the stillborn piglets and helping deliver the rest of the live piglets and brought the entire family home to PRS.

Sponsor Casper! In the spring of 2019, a local cat rescuer called us begging for help with three young piglets she found when trying to help with a bad cat hoarding case. Seeing starving, desperate pigs and dead piglets in a filthy barn, she pleaded with the farmhand to give her the three surviving piglets. He agreed saying they would just die anyway. We agreed to take them if she reported the situation to state authorities.

Sponsor Claus! Claus came to PRS the day he was born along with his siblings and their mother, Eleanor. We were alerted to their situation when a local farmer arrived at the sanctuary pleading for help with a pig in severe distress with a stillborn piglet lodged in her birth canal.

Sponsor Freya! Freya is one of the seven piglets who was born at PRS in September of 2019 after their pregnant mother, Josephine, was seized in a state cruelty case earlier that summer. All of the babies are deeply devoted to their wonderful mother. Raised in a place where they have always known safety and love, all of the babies are exceptionally friendly and trusting. Freya is the most rascally and playful in her family.

Sponsor Gus! Gus is part of our “Woods Pigs” herd here at the sanctuary. Raised in the woods without any shelter and limited human interaction, Gus and the other eight young pigs in his group were semi-feral and terrified of humans and aggressive towards us when we rescued them. Gus is the largest and most dominant pig in his group. He was also the first in his group to decide the humans here are his friends.

Sponsor Herve! Hervé came to PRS with four other male potbelly pigs from a state cruelty seizure in the summer of 2019. Filthy, terrifying, and nearly starved to death, all five boys were traumatized. Hervé was still a fairly young piglet when he arrived. He is best friends with Pierre, another young pig from his rescue. Hervé and Pierre were the first two in their group to start to trust their caregivers.

Sponsor Kellyanne! Kellyanne, also known as KC, came to PRS in the fall of 2018 when she needed a cushy, forever home to come to where she could live with other pigs. A funny and friendly little lady, we buddied up Kellyanne with one of our other pigs, Stella, when she arrived. The two quickly bonded and have become and inseparable pair. Kellyanne is one of our loudest pigs when it is time for dinner!

Sponsor Bubbles! In the spring of 2019, a local cat rescuer called us begging for help with three young piglets she found when trying to help with a bad cat hoarding case.

These days, the “Woods Pigs” have learned that we are their friends, even though they still prefer each other’s company to ours.

Sponsor Noel! When a fellow activist saw Noel being given away for free and at high risk of being taken to be killed for food, she took him in, even though she hadn’t been planning on adding a pig to her micro-sanctuary and kept him for a while before realizing he would be happier in an environment where he could have other pig friends. Noel has special friendships with Bubbles, Hermione, and Minerva.

Sponsor Olga! Olga is one of the seven piglets who was born at PRS in September of 2019 after their pregnant mother, Josephine, was seized in a state cruelty case earlier that summer.

Olga is best friends with her sister, Ingrid.   

Sponsor Opal! Opal came to PRS from a state cruelty seizure along with her sister, Onyx, when they were both young pigs. Suffering without food, water, or adequate shelter in the brutal Maine winter, these two young piglets came to PRS along with ten ducks and eight rabbits. Coming here when they were still young, Opal and Onyx are some of our sweetest and most friendly pigs here.

Sponsor Shannon! Shannon came to PRS the day she was born along with her siblings and their mother, Eleanor. We were alerted to their situation when a local farmer arrived at the sanctuary pleading for help with a pig in severe distress with a stillborn piglet lodged in her birth canal.

Sponsor Winston! Winston, one of our littlest potbelly pigs here at PRS, is a favorite pig of nearly all of our visitors. He is best friends with one of our largest pigs, Penny, and is one of our most vocal pigs here, always talking with his caregivers and grunting his little greetings. Funny and clever, you can usually find Winston making sure that he has the warmest and coziest spot in the nest, squished in between his friends.
