Better Piggies Rescue

Oh Mimi! ❤️ I will never understand how people think it’s ok to give an animal as a gift, without doing some proper education into that recipients background with animals, if they are set up, if they want it, or if they can take on that responsibility for the animals entire life. This happens to Mimi’s owners - they were gifted this beautiful piglet as a joke, and didn’t have the right set up or know how to take care of a piglet. But luckily the owners reacted the way I wish every pig owner would - they did their research and everything in their power to ensure she was healthy, happy, and content in her new home. Knowing they couldn’t keep her due to being in a rental and having limited pig experience, they reached out to our network. While waiting for a home they googled, used Reddit, and asked advice to ensure this 6 week old piglet would survive. I can count on one hand, and with two fingers, the amount of people that have done this for unwanted “gift” pigs. Usually they come to us malnourished, on the brink of death, or with severe behavioral issues. While we look for a new home through our friends azpiggynetwork, BPR agreed to take her. She’s a happy, spunky, beautifully adjusted little piglet that loves people (thanks to her owners) and is just now getting used to other pigs. She is a pig pig, meaning she loves the mud, a little hay, and just being outside in the presence of other pigs. If you are interested in adopting her through our network, please shoot over a DM. Regardless she will get the happy ending she deserves because she landed in a safe home.

Sometimes friendships form in the most unusual places. For Mia, it was finding Sabrina in the urgent care unit, when she was recovering from her spay. Blanket sharing turned into cuddling and cuddling turned into admiration, love, and trust. Now these two beautiful ladies get to be with each other day and night. Two pigs that came from isolated circumstances: Mia being the only pig in her house for years, and Sabrina being discarded with trash outside of a hoarders home. Their rescues brought them together and now they never have to be without each other. Mia is now an indoor pig since Sabrina has such special needs and can’t go outside with her. Notice how Mia is quite alright with this arrangement. We are happy they found each other, are safe, and very very content with their lives. This is why we introduce pigs to one another - pigs need other pigs. Love, friendship, and a lot of cuddles. 🐷🐷❤️

The family that is rescued together, stays together. Maui, Momma, and Moonshine are living their best forever lives at Better Piggies. Safe from being slaughtered, breed, or abused. It’s what we wish for every single piggy in the world and hopefully with change and education, we can see that wish come true. They want to live and love, just like us. Time to protect these beautiful beings. Pass along to someone you know that loves pigs. 🐷🐷🐷❤️
