MEET OUR RESIDENTS

Doogie and Rupert

Aska and Will wanted to adopt two pigs and jokingly said maybe one day they could have a pig sanctuary. Doogie and Rupert were adopted from the Best Friends Animal Society. Aska and Will only intended to have two pigs, but you now know the rest of the story.

Stewie

At 12 weeks Stewie found his way to Aska and Will. His first two homes were well experienced animal owners but their homes did not end up being the right fit for a pig.

Hamilton

At around 2 years old, Hamilton was found abandoned outside of Cokeville, very underweight and with signs of mistreatment. Friends of Aska’s took him in but after a month realized their home was not the right fit for a pig. He quickly adapted to his new life and it didn’t take him long to regain his weight and coat.

Walter (aka Wally)

Walter was surrendered at around 6 months? to the Idaho Falls Animal Shelter due to being kept in a home within city limits. He showed up underweight and with barely any hair. Scroll through the pictures to see his before and after pictures.

Percy

Percy was found in Idaho Falls with a suspected broken leg and underweight. The Idaho Falls Animal Shelter contacted Aska. Victor Valley Vet examined him and confirmed no broken bones but that he had a serious bacterial infection that caused inflammation in the joints that is extremely painful. Aska and Will gave him a daily injection for 10 days. It took a few days for him to eat food and drink water, but after treatment he improved. He was neutered after fully recovering and has since been accepted into the group! He is gentle and we are grateful for his willingness to trust after his tough start at his new home.

Help Support Keeping Pigs in a Blanket!

Do you have some extra blankets, dog beds, or comforters (no down please unless you want to clean up the feathers)? Pigs love burrowing in blankets and even mattresses so they often need to be replaced. Although these items don’t last long, it is well worth the joy it brings them!

Happy Saturday from the growing pups!

We will be at the Victor Dog Park this morning from 10 to 11 am answering any dog behavior or training questions you might have.

Swing by with your dogs (who are social and comfortable with other dogs) for a little fun and learning.

Keep the good vibes coming! I was sure I was going to come home to news that Ocho had died. And while he isn't out of the woods, he is eating and drinking! We will continue eith follow up medical care this week to try to figure out what us actually wrong but for the moment Ochos outlook seems better.

Open

Our sweetest Ocho is struggling and could use all the good vibes he can get. And to top it off, Aska is off the grid camping so @darby.knoll and @ali.f.anderson are handling all of this with our fantastic vet team.

Thank you to the home team for taking care of our sweet boy. I'm rooting for you, Ocho.

Early Puppyhood Education has begun for this new litter of babies and Mama in the Puppy Palace 🐶🕌.

Even at just 1 week old, the puppies' sense of smell is still much better than ours. We did some olfactory work yesterday exposing the puppies to new smells likes sage and wool. Small things like this helps brain development and ultimately leads to a more mentally flexible dog who can handle the big world out there with less stress. Even mama dog hops up at the end of this video to take a sniff.

We are currently fundraising for two more buildings like the Puppy Palace so we can increase our capacity and continue to enrich the lives of animals in our care.

@lulusfund will generously match the first $25k raised to help make this project a reality.
Thanks to this match, we have officially ordered two more structures that will arrive in early August.

If you'd like to be a part of the 🐶🕌 campaign, please consider a donation today.

"Saving one dog will not save the world, but surely for that one dog her world will change forever." Is a quote we kept thinking about while putting the things into place for this new resident.

There were a lot of moving parts, a lot of text messages, multiple fosters, ground transports that stepped up at the last minute and a life saving flight with @dogismycopilotinc to give this girl and her 5 puppies a chance at a new life.

This mama arrived last night and is settling in. Her newborn puppies will be raised here in the 🐶🕌 and then will head over to @animaladoptioncenterjhwy for adoption.

Teamwork really does make the dream work

Thank you @pollardkkp_
