The Wallows
Mud wallows, ponds, and shaded shelters for the animals who love to get dirty. Our pigs and waterfowl have room to root, splash, and do what comes naturally.
Wallows Residents
Jute
Pig · Pot Belly
Jute has grown into a big boy who lives happily at the sanctuary with his little peg leg from the natural amputation that occurred after his rescue. He's thriving in sanctuary life, spending his days under sunny skies, having fully recovered from his traumatic start in life. His body's remarkable healing process allowed for a perfect, clean amputation without surgical intervention.
Mo Love
Pig · Farm Hog
Mo Love is a magnificent force of nature who demands your full attention and isn't shy about claiming every square inch of space she deserves—including your feet, which she'll happily use as her personal recliner. This confident queen survived a close call when what looked like a tumor (but was actually treatable muscle trauma) made her "unsuitable" for slaughter, giving her the chance to discover her true calling: professional belly rub recipient and expert mud wallower. Whether she's grunting with pure joy, sprawling in the sunshine, or leaning her considerable bulk against visitors like she's trying to absorb their entire day, Mo Love lives up to her name with a heart as big as her impressive frame.
Sylvester (Sly)
Farm Hog · Duroc
Sylvester "Sly" is an 800-pound ginger giant who's mastered the art of pumpkin demolition and perfected the subtle communication of tipping water bowls when his wallow needs a refresh. This gorgeous Duroc hog may be getting on in years (complete with creaky knees that earn him daily peanut butter-wrapped meds), but he's still got the soul of a mischievous troublemaker who insists he's Irish every March and never met an apple he couldn't charm his way into receiving. After bouncing through four homes with his three sisters, Sly finally landed at his forever sanctuary where his gentle giant personality and scratch-requesting expertise make him absolutely irresistible.
Tashi & Hiro
Pig · Pot Belly
Tashi and Hiro are the ultimate sibling duo who prove that some bonds are absolutely unbreakable — despite sharing their spacious yard with 64 other pigs, these two are utterly devoted to each other and can always be found snuggling, splashing in their favorite mud hole, or taking leisurely strolls side by side. These pot belly siblings arrived as tiny piglets six years ago when their mom Applesauce needed a safe place to raise her family, and they've grown into the most inseparable pair you'll ever meet. Named after the lovable characters from Big Hero 6, they're living proof that the best adventures are always better with your best friend by your side.
